The 1989 Eric Clapton Artist Series Strat was one of the 1st U.S. made artist models manufactured following Fender's purchase from CBS in 1986. This is a unique one! 

This guitar has a soft “V’ shaped maple neck with skunk stripe down the back. It has a nice maple fingerboard with black dot inlays and a 1 5/8” nut. The vintage-style nickel tuners are in good shape. The 6-point trem has been blocked, and while the bar is included, it is not usable without a setup. 

This one weighs 8LBS 4 OZ.

The pewter gray has a subtle sparkle, and is extremely uncommon to see in the modern Fender catalogue. This guitar has a few blemishes as pictured, but other than that its in great shape. There is general scratching throughout the pickguard and on to some of the pickup covers. There are a few small nicks in the finish as pictured. Additionally, there is a U-Shaped finish crack near the heel of the neck joint.  You can catch it with your fingernail but poses no structural issues. The headstock has some slight marring between the bass string tuner and the nut. She's a beaut!  

Comes with all of the original case candy, and a NEW Fender Classic Series wood case! Worth the price of admission. Check it out.
