Fender Eric Clapton Stratocaster £1299
A superb guitar combining a array of features with great playability, although the thin frets won't suit everyone.

This guitar seriously ticks all the boxes. The neck is so easy to handle and makes up for not having the vibrato fitted. Bending and finger trems come naturally.
The active controls make this probably Fenders most versatile guitar, from clean finger picking to heavy rocking riffs, all so easily achievable.
This is the 1st guitar I have owned where I cant decide on my favourite or fall back pick up position. Tone is everywhere. -
