Here is a rare gem for Fender and Clapton fans alike: a 2000 Fender Custom Shop Stratocaster, one of a limited edition of 10 custom-built for Sam Ash. Each set consisted of a Telecaster and a Stratocaster — this Strat is from pair #8 of those 10.
\r\n\r\nFor context: in March 2001, Clapton debuted the Crashocaster, painted by renowned graffiti artist John “Crash” Matos, on stage at the Royal Albert Hall. It quickly became Clapton's main guitar through his 2004 World Tour. This tribute honors that same striking visual style with a one-of-a-kind finish, making it a truly unique collectors piece.\r\n\r\nThis example is in pristine condition, showing only two minor blemishes: a small chip where the neck meets the body and a light discoloration mark on the back of the neck from a stand (see photos). The frets are perfect, showing no signs of wear. It’s been collector-owned and very well cared for.
\r\nElectronics & Modifications: The pickups have been upgraded — the neck and middle are Suhr V60s, and the bridge is a Seymour Duncan Five-Two. The original pickups will be included in the case.
