Fender Journeyman Relic Eric Clapton Signature: classic construction and nitro finish

For the construction of the Fender Journeyman Relic Eric Clapton Strat, the Custom Shop team uses a first-class selection of wood and the proven screw neck design. Accordingly, the body is made of light ash, while the one-piece neck is made of maple with standing annual rings. The artificially aged nitrocellulose finish not only promises the look and feel of a long-established electric guitar, but also contributes to the free development of sound. In addition, the Signature electric guitar offers a particularly high playing comfort thanks to the well-shaped "Soft V" neck profile.

Versatile sounds without background noise

Fender Eric Clapton JRN Strat Slowhands uses Vintage Noiseless Single Coil pickups, which deliver the typical, bell-like Strat sound without the typical background noises. Fender TBX Tone Control is also installed for tone control, which is controlled via the center-operated, middle tone potentiometer. The ingenious circuitry makes the sound higher when turning up from the middle position, while it dampens the treble when turning back. The Fender Eric Clapton Strat also offers an active mid boost that raises the signal in the corresponding frequencies by up to 25 dB to elicit creamy lead sounds from the amplifier.

Fender Hardware

In addition, the Fender Journeyman Eric Clapton Strat offers the typical hardware equipment from its own production. On the body is the proven Fender American Vintage Tremolo, which is blocked with a wooden block like Clapton's own electric guitars. This turns the bridge into a classic hardtail and contributes to the tight sound development of the electric guitar. At the headstock, the strings are also guided via a bone saddle to the precisely acting Fender Vintage Style tuners.
