Fender Stratocaster Eric Clapton "Blackie" Tribute Masterbuilt Yuriy Shishkov (2006)
Fender Stratocaster Eric Clapton "Blackie" Tribute Masterbuilt Yuriy Shishkov (2006)
After our last Blackie Tribute was sold immediately, we went on a search and are very happy to offer you once again one of these surely most wanted guitars. Next to Jimi Hendrix' Woodstock Strat and Stevie Ray Vaughan's "Number One", Eric Clapton's "Blackie" is one of the icons of Strat history. Assembled from the parts of three different vintage Strats, Blackie accompanied the master on tour and in the studio for decades. In 2004, it was auctioned off for the fabulous sum of $959,000 to benefit Clapton's Crossroads Center. Before it went to its new owner, however, it made a stop at the Fender Custom Shop. There, Blackie was meticulously analyzed and measured to make an exclusive reissue possible: The Blackie Tribute Stratocaster, which was offered in 2006 in a limited edition of 275 pieces. Only 90 of them left the USA and we are happy to offer you the copy with serial number YS461. Built by masterbuilder Yuriy Shishkov, the guitar features all the specifications and playing marks of the original - from the paint chipping on the body to the discoloration of the fingerboard and the cigarette burn marks on the headstock. The accurately reproduced V-neck profile and custom-wound pickups ensure that you get the exact feel and sound of the original here. It also comes with a replica of the original Duck Bros flight case and all the accessories and documentation material. Blackie Tributes are extremely rare on the market and this one comes to you in mint collector condition and a dream weight of only 3290 grams!
