Items Other 26,995.99This is an ERIC CLAPTON CUSTOM BLACKIE STRATOCASTER TRIBUTE GUITAR that was recreated by Fenders custom shop and is a limited edition of only 185. These 185 guitars were sold by Guitar Center and they retailed for $26,000!! These custom Blackies were released in November of 2006 and sold within hours!! It comes complete with the case shown in the pictures. In the late '60s, Eric Clapton personally combined the best elements of three vintage Stratocaster guitars to create the original Blackie, which now bears the battle scars of decades of touring, jamming, recording and songwriting. In 2004, Eric generously offered Blackie for auction to benefit the Crossroads Centre, Antigua. On June 24, what was already the most famous guitar in the world also became the most valuable. The winning bid was Guitar Center at $959,000. Blackie then traveled from Guitar Center's vault to the Fender Custom Shop in Corona, CA USA, where it was carefully analyzed and meticulously measured to capture every essence of its unique character. Now, the Fender Custom Shop, in association with Guitar Center and Eric Clapton, has re-created this legendary instrument down to the last authentic detail. From the worn-to-the-wood body, to the neck re-shaped by Eric's hand as he played a thousand heartfelt solos. From the unmistakable cigarette burns on the headstock, to the world-weary flight case every historical detail is faithfully re-created. All the parts, pickups and electronics are aged and matched to the original, unique specifications of Blackie. The Eric Clapton BLACKIE re-issue replicates his legendary guitar down to the smallest of details. In addition, this historic re-creation includes an array of collectible memorabilia...
