Thanks for the quick reply. I do not miss the tilt neck. I thought I may have gotten a rare one, but no worries, we both have the best !

Micro Tilt is not part of the CS Clapton specification.

The first CS Claptons built by Michael Stevens had the Micro-Tilt adjuster, they also featured the TBX circuit.

I bet the Micro-Tilt feature was deleted in 2000 when Clapton made the switch to VNs.

Chromeface places that neck adjuster correctly. It was on the first generation Claptons, and may also have been on other production Strats of that period,such as the Plus series, though I'll defer to the more knowledgeable on that one for confirmation. Curious as to what prompted the question.

Was it a Lace Sensor equipped guitar?
