1989 Fender Stratocaster Eric Clapton Artist's Signature Series w/OHSC Exc Cond


At auction here is one of my babies-- a 1989 Fender Stratocaster-- Eric Clapton Artist's Signature Series. The only things keeping this from being "mint-" are several tiny indentations (perhaps a dozen- about 1/4th the size of a matchhead) on the back of the neck (created by setting it against furniture and the like, versus its stand!), a 1/2" long scratch on the back of the neck (pictured) and a few tiny indentations (same size- perhaps 1/2 dozen)  around the edge of the body. All of them are very difficult to see unless you hold the guitar at an angle to a bright light.I've really enjoyed playing this Strat; it holds tuning better than any guitar I've owned- but my fingers simply won't allow me to do it justice any longer (nerve damage). 
I'm not hard-pressed for the money and can still do some chording & easy stuff, but I'd be better off with a wider neck, and this guitar really deserves to be played by someone who loves Strats.
The action is terrific with a recent (a month ago) professional setup by one of the area's best luthiers (put 10s on since my bending days have passed, but 9s also sounded great) no string buzz, the frets have lots of life left, there's NO BUCKLE RASH, no cracks, splits. A scratchy volume pot was replaced at the time as well. It'd be in great shape if it was new-- but it's 27 years old and is in excellent condition, in my opinion-- even up close with a trained eye. It's not perfect, but it plays & sounds as nice as any Strat you'll find regardless of age.
A few points: Lace Sensor pups, maple neck & fingerboard, 5-way pickup selector, blocked tremolo, soft-V neck profile.
Played by: EC (of course), Dylan, Stevie Ray, Jimi & Gilmour

Comes with the original TWEED hardshell case which is NOT in excellent condition, as you can see, but it's taken real good care of this Strat for almost 3 decades. The handle is leather, the hasp and key locks work (key is long gone) as do all of the hinges. The inside is in very good condition
I believe any Stratocaster fan would be very happy with this instrument.
Shipping IS FREE THROUGH LABOR DAY (CONUS, only). It will be packed well and insured.
This guitar is also listed locally in the Raleigh, NC area for local pickup (no S/H fees).
Email me with any questions. 
Thanks so much looking!
