Finished in timeless Black with a maple neck, this USA-made signature model blends vintage looks with modern versatility, making it far more than just a collector's piece. The model features Fender's Vintage Noiseless pickups, active 25dB mid-boost circuit, TBX tone control and the distinctive soft \"V\" neck profile that Clapton has favoured for decades.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003ePlugged in, the guitar delivers everything from sparkling Strat cleans to surprisingly thick, almost humbucker-like lead tones thanks to the active mid-boost. The noiseless pickups retain much of the classic Strat character while eliminating the hum that can plague traditional single coils. The soft \"V\" neck is exceptionally comfortable, particularly for players who wrap their thumb over the fretboard, while the blocked tremolo provides excellent tuning stability and sustain.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWhat makes the 2002 model especially desirable is that it comes from the early Vintage Noiseless era, giving it a distinctive voice that many players feel strikes an excellent balance between traditional Strat chime and modern performance. It's a guitar equally at home playing blues, classic rock, pop and session work.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003ePros\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cp\u003ePowerful active mid-boost system offers huge tonal range\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eVintage Noiseless pickups reduce unwanted hum\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eComfortable soft \"V\" maple neck\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eExcellent tuning stability and sustain\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eHigh-quality USA craftsmanship\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eStrong resale value and collectability\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe \u003cstrong\u003e2002 Eric Clapton \"Blackie\" Stratocaster\u003c\/strong\u003e is a superb professional-grade instrument that successfully bridges the gap between vintage Strat tone and modern versatility.
