2007 Fender Custom Shop Masterbuilt Eric Clapton Stratocaster Blackie by Mark Kendrick

1970年，Eric Clapton將他三把1950年代中期的Fender Stratocaster拆分，並從中選擇了外觀吸引他的黑色1956 Body與一把他手感最適合他的1957 Neck，以及一組聲音最好的拾音器電路，並將它們組合成了一把Stratocaster，成為了Eric Clapton在1970年至1980年代中期主要使用的吉他，也就是Eric Clapton最具有代表性的吉他「Blackie」

。

到了1985年，Eric Clapton意識到他的Blackie因為經歷長期的彈奏，琴頸嚴重磨損，甚至無法支撐六條弦的張力，導致整把琴已經無法再使用了，在當年擔任Fender行銷經理的Dan Smith向Eric Clapton提出了一些想法，除了讓Fender為他打造一把獨特的Stratocaster以外，也討論了製作簽名琴的計畫，這款簽名琴將根據Eric Clapton本人理想的規格製作，在Eric Clapton的要求下，它有著Martin木吉他的V型琴頸、更大動態範圍的Lace Sensor拾音器、以及可增益中頻至25dB的MDX電路系統與Master TBX Tone Control，最終這款簽名琴在1988年發表，這些規格直到2001年後才改版。

而Fender在1990年正式將這把獨立製作的黑色Stratocaster提供給了Eric Clapton，這是一把由Mike Stevens製作的華麗虎紋楓木Neck，搭配J.W. Black製作的Body，而其規格則是完全按照1988年發表的版本製作，這就是Fender正式為Eric Clapton本人打造的第一款Blackie。

2007年由Mark Kendrick打造，以NOS方式再次復刻這把經典的吉他，同樣有著非常漂亮的虎紋楓木Soft V Shape Profile琴頸，搭載了Lace Sensor拾音器、Master TBX Tone Control與Mid-boost系統，TBX類似高低音頻控制器，當Tone Knob位於0-5都是基本的Tone Control，一但超過5後，會開始降低電阻，釋放出更多的低頻與高頻，而搭配可增益中頻25dB的Mid-boost，能使整體音色更佳的豐富。

整體八成新，正常使用痕跡與小傷。

In 1970, Eric Clapton took apart three mid-1950s Fender Stratocasters and selected the components he liked best from each: the black 1956 body for its appearance, a 1957 neck that felt the most comfortable in his hands, and the pickup assembly that sounded the best. He combined these parts into a single Stratocaster, creating the legendary "Blackie," which became his primary guitar throughout the 1970s and into the mid-1980s. It remains the most iconic guitar associated with Eric Clapton.

By 1985, after years of extensive use, Blackie had reached the end of its life. The neck had become so severely worn that it could no longer withstand the tension of six strings, making the guitar unplayable. That same year, Fender Marketing Manager Dan Smith approached Eric Clapton with the idea of building him a unique Stratocaster, while also discussing the possibility of producing a signature model based on Clapton's personal preferences.

At Clapton's request, the guitar featured a soft V-shaped neck inspired by his Martin acoustic guitars, Lace Sensor pickups for greater dynamic range, an MDX mid-boost circuit capable of providing up to 25dB of midrange gain, and a Master TBX Tone Control. The Eric Clapton Signature Stratocaster was officially introduced in 1988, and these specifications remained unchanged until they were updated in 2001.

In 1990, Fender officially presented Eric Clapton with a separate black Stratocaster built specifically for him. This guitar featured a beautifully figured flame maple neck crafted by Mike Stevens, paired with a body built by J.W. Black, while its specifications faithfully followed those of the 1988 Eric Clapton Signature Stratocaster. It is widely regarded as the first Blackie officially built by Fender exclusively for Eric Clapton.

This 2007 Fender Custom Shop recreation was masterfully built by Mark Kendrick as a New Old Stock (NOS) model, faithfully capturing the spirit of this historic instrument. It features a beautifully figured flame maple Soft V-shaped neck, Lace Sensor pickups, the Master TBX Tone Control, and the signature 25dB Mid-Boost circuit. The TBX functions as both a treble and bass expander: from settings 0–5 it operates as a conventional tone control, while beyond 5 it progressively reduces circuit resistance, allowing more low and high frequencies to pass through. Combined with the active 25dB mid-boost, it delivers a remarkably rich, dynamic, and versatile tonal character.

Overall condition is approximately 80%, showing normal signs of use along with a few minor cosmetic blemishes. The guitar remains in excellent playing condition.

Comes with the original Fender case, COA and paperwork.
