The Clapton Stratocaster is Basically a 57 reissue with the extra TBX tone control ,,, so i would prefer a Clapton over any new american standard for sure


Dont confuse the TBX with the MDX. The TBX is not an active mid-boost circuit, it's a passive treble/bass tone expander which cuts lows and boosts highs or vice-versa. The MDX is the active mid-boost control, it boosts the midrange to 25dB peaking at 500Hz and makes single-coils sound fatter like an overdriven humbucking pickup.

get a custom shop clapton and you will never look at anything else.
tonewise, in my humble opinion, the clapton is the best on the planet. the v neck rules. i been playing them since they came out in 1988. i cannot put down the CS daphne blue clapton i have now, and i have played everything in my 54 years on this earth.

Sorry to resurrect a 7 yr old post but gotta say GREAT post!! I have an EC Strat artist series (Torino red) and it’s easily the best guitar I’ve ever played. The tone is unmatched. The satin V neck and vintage frets plays like butter Love how low the action can go.
