The Fender Todd Krause Masterbuilt Limited Edition 30th Anniversary Eric Clapton Stratocaster is a meticulously crafted tribute to Clapton’s legendary “Blackie” Strat, celebrating three decades of his signature model. Masterbuilt by Todd Krause—Clapton’s longtime personal guitar builder—this limited-edition Strat embodies the highest level of Fender Custom Shop craftsmanship.
Featuring a select alder body with a smooth black finish, a quartersawn maple neck with Clapton’s signature soft “V” profile, and a 9.5” radius fingerboard, this guitar offers a perfect balance of comfort and playability. A trio of Custom Shop Vintage Noiseless pickups delivers Clapton’s signature tone—warm, dynamic, and full of sustain—while the active mid-boost and TBX tone circuit provide added versatility and power. The blocked vintage-style synchronized tremolo ensures rock-solid stability, just as Clapton prefers.
With its impeccable build quality, finely tuned electronics, and historical significance, this Masterbuilt 30th Anniversary Eric Clapton Stratocaster is a must-have for collectors and players alike. One of only 30 instruments made, this example includes the original hardshell case, case candy, and certificate of authenticity.
