Fender Custom Shop Stratocaster - Eric Clapton ‘Blackie’ Tribute Relic £23,750.00

Limited Edition - Highly collectible - Investment grade instrument Exact Replica of Eric Clapton’s original Blackie Strat This guitar hardly needs an introduction. Eric Clapton’s original Blackie Stratocaster is well known among guitar aficionados as one of the world’s most iconic musical instruments. It is also well known for selling at auction for over $950,000, raising money for Eric Clapton’s Crossroads Rehabilitation Centre in Antigua. This guitar is just in on consignment and has been collector owned and cared for. No serious issues, repairs, etc… Comes with the original Flight Case which is a replica of the actual “Duck Bros” case that the real Blackie came with as well as some accessories and collateral that is pictured (certificate of authenticity). Like all our used / vintage gear it has been tested for functionality and priced to move. Sold as- is. What you see is what you get. In the late '60s, Eric Clapton personally combined the best elements of three vintage Stratocaster guitars to create the original Blackie, which now bears the battle scars of decades of touring, jamming, recording and songwriting. In 2004, Eric generously offered Blackie for auction to benefit the Crossroads Centre, Antigua. On June 24, what was already the most famous guitar in the world also became the most valuable. The winning bid was $959,000! Blackie then traveled to the Fender Custom Shop in Corona, CA USA, where it was carefully analyzed and meticulously measured to capture every essence of its unique character. This legendary instrument has now been painstakingly re-created by the Fender Custom Shop. Right down to the last authentic detail. From the worn-to-the-wood body, to the neck re-shaped by Eric's hand as he played a thousand heartfelt solos. From the unmistakable cigarette burns on the headstock, to the world-weary flight case – every historical detail is faithfully re-created. All the parts, pickups and electronics are aged and matched to the original, unique specifications of Blackie. This is one of only 185 guitars originally produced for the US Market. It is serial number and was Masterbuilt by Mark Kendrick, one of Fender’s most senior Master Builders. Complete with all paperwork and original HSC.

This Fender Jazz Bass is a rare one as it's one of the very first three-pot Basses from late 1961. I supplied this guitar some 35 years ago and it has appeared at some great gigs since. The guitar is in the same condition as I sold it, a refinished Olympic White and an over-sprayed neck which feels original now. All parts are original apart from a few screws. Complete with 1960s black case.
