This early, top-tier “Made in Japan” Stratocaster is extremely similar to the Eric Clapton “Blackie” Signature Stratocaster, sharing a number of premium features with that instrument including a trio of Lace Sensor Gold pickups, active MDX Mid-boost circuit, and a V-shaped neck profile with a modern 9 1\/2“ fretboard radius. Interestingly, this guitar was produced the very same year the original USA-made Clapton Signatures were released, making it a notable early example of this particular feature set.\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e\nThe Lace Sensor pickups feature a unique radiant Field Barrier system that surrounds both the coil and magnets, reducing 60-cycle hum. The patented Lace Micro Combs replace traditional bobbins, giving the player a wider tonal range and better string-to-string balance than traditional pickups. An active Mid Boost control replaces the Strat's second Tone knob, enabling the humbucker-esque warmth and richness of Clapton’s iconic “woman tone.” Weighing 7lbs 13oz, this ST54-85LS benefits from a professional setup here at Mike \u0026amp; Mike’s Guitar Bar with 10-46 strings, low action, and accurate intonation.\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e\nNeck Specs:\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e\n-Wood: Maple\u003cbr\u003e\n-Shape: V, measuring .855” 1st fret, .980” 12th fret\u003cbr\u003e\n-Fretboard: Maple, 9 1\/2” radius\u003cbr\u003e\n-Frets: Slender, no wear\u003cbr\u003e\n-Scale Length: 25 1\/2”\u003cbr\u003e\n-Nut: 1.650” (42mm), bone\u003cbr\u003e\n-Tuners: Kluson-style, Gotoh\u003cbr\u003e\n-Serialization: “Made in Japan”, E-prefix\u003cbr\u003e\n-Factory Markings: Model stamp in neck pocket\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e\nBody Specs:\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e\n-Wood: Alder\u003cbr\u003e\n-Pickups: Lace Sensor Gold single coil x3\u003cbr\u003e\n-Controls: Volume, Tone, MDX Mid-boost, Five-way pickup selector\u003cbr\u003e\n-Harness: Untouched solder, full-size Japanese pots date to 1988\u003cbr\u003e\n-Hardware: Vintage-style Synchronized Tremolo, jack cup\u003cbr\u003e\n-Plastics: One-ply pickguard, lightly aged knobs\/pickup covers\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e\nExtremely well-kept, the gloss Black finish has just a few small dings and faint finish scratches in the clear coat.
