Description
Weight: SN8954974
This 1998 Fender Eric Clapton Signature Stratocaster in rare Candy Green (also known as 7-Up Green) is being sold as a project/parts guitar due to a maxed-out truss rod. The body and electronics are fully functional—making this an excellent candidate for neck replacement, parts donor, or player-grade restoration project. The distinctive Candy Green finish on Eric Clapton signature models is uncommon in the used market, adding collectible appeal even in project condition. Original hardshell case and paperwork included.
Functional: Body in Candy Green finish, complete electronics (active mid-boost circuit, Lace Sensor pickups), hardware, controls—all working properly.
Issue: Truss rod maxed out. Neck requires replacement or professional evaluation for potential repair options. Guitar is not playable in current condition without neck work.
Even as a project, this guitar retains the distinctive features that made the Clapton signature model unique: Lace Sensor Gold pickups (noiseless single-coil tone), active mid-boost circuit (TBX tone control), blocked tremolo, "V" neck profile, and that rare Candy Green finish. For players seeking these specific electronics and body specs, this represents an opportunity to build around genuine Fender signature components.
