90's Clapton Strat

90's Clapton Strat

This was a workshop job I couldn't resist sharing here on the workshop blog too. A customer booked in their 90s Clapton signature Strat for a few jobs, so I wanted to document the guitar as I'm sure it'll interest others like it did me.

Although my music tastes/guitar tastes have changed a lot over the years, I really have to credit the 80s/90s Clapton music and his guitars as the key ingredient that sparked my love for guitar. In particular, things like his Knebworth '90 performances, or the 24 Nights album/video sporting his pewter grey signature Strat, were personal favourites at the time. So opening the old tweed case and revealing this example instantly hit me in the feels! The right colour, amazing condition, very much looking forward to getting stuck into the job.

Getting the most out of factory pickups; MIM Fender Classic Series 50s Strat

In this article I'm going to share some of the ways I decide on wiring specs, to help achieve a customers goal for their guitar's tone. As well as touch on some of the various steps I take when re-wiring a Fender Stratocaster. The specific guitar in question here was a lovely Classic Series 50s Stratocaster. A made in Mexico model which I'm always impressed by each time I get to see/play/work on. I've owned a couple of the slightly later variant of these, the Classic Player, which were great guitars but I've always liked both the Classic Series and Player models. Great vintage correct styling and build quality in my opinion is usually really nice on this era MIM, would happily own one again!
