Rare; 2002 Fender Yamano Eric Clapton Artist Series Stratocaster Midnight Blue

Maker: Fender

Model: Eric Clapton

Condition: good

Description: 

A very rare version of a USA Fender Eric Clapton made for Yamano Music in Japan. This is the standard Artist series model but finished in the Custom Shop midnight Blue finish, we have never seen this color on a non-custom shop model so we are assuming it was a either a one-off or a limited run made specifically for Yamano Music (Fender's Japan distributor). Includes original tweed case, hang tags, tremolo bar, trem block and Yamano manual.

Headstock is in excellent condition, rear of neck is very clean, there is some finish separation at the skunk stripe that you can feel a bit, frets show some light wear in the root position (tons of life left), fretboard is in very clean condition with only some minor marks, body shows some wear throughout with small dings and impressions on the front and edges and some buckle working on the rear but no chips or deep scratches. Hardware shows some patina/aging. Please study photos for full condition.
