    Just for the record that isn't a Clapton Strat.The neck is but the body appears to be a Mexican Player series or maybe an American Standard from 2008 onwards....look at the 2 point tremolo,the F stamped neck plate and the 3 ply pickguard.A Clapton body would have a vintage style 6 screw bridge,single ply pickguard and a battery near the trem springs for the mid boost activated by the bottom tone control.Nice playing as usual Mike and nice sounding partscaster but you wouldn't want to sell that as a Clapton model to someone who doesn't know.

    That guitar is my "Holy Grail" guitar. My first guitar was a black strat copy with a maple neck and fretboard. And I learned a lot of Clapton licks and riffs on it when I was young. Always thought Blackie was one of the best looking guitars ever. That thing is sweet. Wish I could afford it lol.

  • @Jamesfoofighter
    @Jamesfoofighter Год назад +5

    Usually the Clapton Strats have the Mid Boost and TBX fitted, and single play pickguard. Also, the trem is usually blocked off, with six screw Trem system. It seems the person who bought this didn't really want a Clapton Strat in the first place!

    • @mathewdavies6472
      @mathewdavies6472 11 месяцев назад +1

      Yeah, I wouldn't really call it a Clapton strat at all, the only part of a Clapton strat on it is the neck and that isn't even from a 'blackie', they usually have it written under the signature. 2 point trem, AM Pro body maybe? entire electrics seem to have been changed so no, not a Clapton strat

  • @guitareveryone
    @guitareveryone Год назад +9

    Hate to say it Lemmo but there is an error concerning Blackie with that particular guitar. It appears that only the neck is from the “Blackie” model Strat. The tremolo body cavity should be carved out to house a 9 volt battery that is used to boost the 25db preamp for one of the tone controls. The middle tone knob should also be a TBX control. Also it shouldn’t be a 2 point trem but a vintage style bridge. Pickups should be Fender Vintage Noiseless. The body is most likely from a 2008 American Standard Strat. Nonetheless I love the video and great playing as always. And this is a GREAT channel. Keep up the great work!!

    • @mikec3454
      @mikec3454 Год назад +3

      Yup, you’re spot on. I owned a Clapton Strat around 2010-2013 in black. This is not a Clapton Strat… someone just put a Clapton neck on a Standard I’m afraid.

      @guitareveryone Год назад +2

      @@mikec3454 That’s right Mike. I still own a Clapton Blackie Strat. I also own a 2008 Black American Standard Strat which is why I’m thinking the body of the guitar Lemmo is playing has the 2008 Strat body.

    The name "Blackie" would have been under the signature on the headstock, the neck probably belonged to a different color (non-Blackie) EC Strat. That body ain't from an EC Strat, not a six screw bridge and no cavity in the back for a 9-volt battery for the mid-booster. BTW though, can someone tell me which amp he's using?

    Be aware that the Clapton Stratocaster with the boost of has 12 DB mid boost. The same as a hot Gibson Les Paul. As Humbucker power doubles with every 3 DB mid boost a 15 DB mid boost guitar has the double Humbucker power of a 12 DB mid boost guitar ( Gibson Les Paul) a 18 DB mid boost guitar has 4 times the Humbucker power of a 12 DB mid boost guitar. A 21 DB boost guitar has 8 times the Humbucker power of a 12 DB mid boost guitar. A 24 DB mid boost guitar has 16 times more Humbucker power than a 12 DB mid boost guitar. At 25 DB mid boost the Clapton Stratocaster is more than 17 times more powerful than a Gibson Les Paul Humbucker wise. The reason it starts at 12 DB mid boost is because it has Humbucker pick ups. Vintage noice less pick ups are Humbuckers. The Lace senzor pick ups that were there earlier were even more powerful than the Humbucker pick ups in the Clapton signature Stratocaster. So this is as far away from a Stratocaster you can possibly come. Clapton himself does not see it as a Stratocaster. He writes in his self biography he used a Stratocaster for 8 to 11 years. He started playing the Stratocaster in 1974 ( yes his earlier solo albums were recorded with a Gibson Les Paul ( see page 179 in his self biography ). In 1982 Clapton was fed up with the Stratocaster and signed for a Company called Strings and Things. They made his first signature guitars and had great Humbucker guitars. Clapton at this time was looking for the most powerful Humbucker guitar available. A year or 2 later Fender offers Clapton the most money ever given to a guitarist to sign with Fender. Clapton answers ” If you can make Me the absolute most powerful Humbucker guitar in the world I sign with Fender ”.
    Fender suceeds with making the absolute most powerful Humbucker guitar the world has ever seen and Clapton signs with Fender.
    Thats the guitar Clapton has used since early 1986 and became the Clapton Stratocaster in 1988. Its without a doubt the absolute most powerful Humbucker guitar in the world still today. Clapton played a Stratocaster from 1974 to December 1985 but has to deduct the contracted time with Strings and Things and therefore Clapton says he played a Stratocaster for 8 to 11 years. If you buy this guitar be sure to have a very powerful amp as a normal amp Will break down immidiately from the brutal power of the Clapton Humbucker Stratocaster.

    That’s not an Eric Clapton strat body - standard series maybe. Should be a 6 screw bridge if it was Clapton strat body. Standard or deluxe body would have the 2 point bridge. Wonder if it has the clapton boost circuit or the noiseless pickups, or if it’s just standard pickups and wiring.

    Fender and Clapton had a dispute when they first started making "Clapton" Strats because Fender wanted to make them also with rosewood boards but Clapton said no because he use rosewood boards himself. However, apparently Fender made a very, very, select few in that way and released them and I'd kill to get my hands on one. Has anyone here ever seen one? I don't even have a clue what they'd be worth but if someone knew what they had they'd surely be valuable wouldn't they?

    Norm's list inspired me to look for some choice Soul ad Swing Christmas songs. Hey Norm, what do you think of these? I could find the Christmas list, so if these are on it, sorry.
    1. Ray Charles - Spirit of Christmas
    2. Ella Fitzgerald & Louie Armstrong - Baby It's Cold Outside
    3. James Brownn - Soulful Christmas
    4. Al Green - O Holy Night (Mahal's version is diffinative, but...)
    5. James Brown - Let's Make Christmas Mean Something this Year
    6. James Brown - Santa Go Straight to the Ghetto
    7. Koko Taylor - Merry Merry Christmas

    Definitely has the Clapton tone! I believe it was 1983 when I bought my '79 Fender strat used for $480.00 at a local music store that's been out of business many years. Mine is black with a black pick guard and pickups with the bullet truss rod. Pretty cool. I still play it often. I recently got a long overdue fret job done on it from a local luthier. It plays like a dream. Something about a Fender strat. In the late seventies, they were a chunk of wood. Lol Heavy guitar.

    The 2 problems With the Clapton Stratocasters if you like normal stratocasters are 1. Because of the stacked Humbuckers ( Fender vintage noice less ) it can never sound like a normal Stratocaster. Physics does not allow it. The Clapton Stratocaster has always 12 DB mid boost even without the boost button. So it Will always be a lot more powerful than a Stratocaster. Its weakest position 12 DB mid boost is a lot more powerful than a Gibson Les Paul Humbucker wise.
    2. At 25 DB boost its Way too hot. As Humbucker power doubles with every 3 DB mid boost its between 25 to 30 times more powerful than a Gibson Les Paul Humbucker wise. The Clapton Stratocaster is the absolute most powerful Humbucker Guitar in the world. This is as far away from a Stratocaster as you possibly can come. I dont understand why Fender calls it a Stratocaster because it Will fool a lot of customers wanting a real Stratocaster. Clapton according to his auto biography only used a real Stratocaster for 8 to 11 years. He started recording With a Stratocaster in 1974. The earlier solo records and Derek and the Dominos were recorded with a Gibson Les Paul by Clapton ( see page 179 in his auto biography. ), by 1982 he was fed up With the Stratocaster and Signed with a company called Strings and Things. They made excellent Humbucker guitars and even made the first Signature Clapton guitar. A year or 2 later Fender offers Clapton the biggest offer ever to sign With Fender. Clapton answers ” If you can make me the absolute most powerful Humbucker guitar in the world I sign With Fender ”. Fender succeds in building the absolute most powerful Humbucker guitar the world has ever seen. Nothing even gets close even today. Clapton then signs With Fender. Thats the guitar Clapton has used since early 1986 and became the Clapton Signature Stratocaster in 1988. Clapton only used a real Stratocaster from 1974 to December 1985. But deducted With the time he was under contract with Strings and Things and played their guitars he states in his auto biography he only used a Stratocaster for 8 to 11 years. In the eightiees he used the Fender Elite s lot when playing Stratocasters. The Elite has a mid boost from 0 to 12 DB boost. Clapton only used it on its maximum 12 DB mid boost.

I struggle to find any specificities on the guitar which my dad purchased for me when I was in school. It's all original in perfect working order, I thought I'd drop a comment here and see if anybody piped up before I head to the store I acquired it and see if they can offer any further info on it, history rocks!
