Fender / Eric Clapton / 1989 / Torino Red / Guitar
|
Here’s this beauty you all probably know: a 1989 Torino Red Fender Stratocaster Eric Clapton. Almost 30 years of mojo have built up on this beauty for a unique look & feel.
There’s two ways to “go Clapton”: the Blackie way, or the Torino Red way. Of course, the best is to have both, but that’s not always possible. If you choose the red “passion” way, it will leave no one undifferent, that’s for sure.
Guitar is in very good condition, very well taken care of throughout its 30 years of life (one owner). It has a replaced tone button, and the booster has been removed to enjoy the Lace Sensors in all its purity. The part is included nonetheless, though I believe it is not functioning. It has one ding near the bass horn, which was touched up by a tech. Some buckle rash on the back, nothing through the lacquer.
It sounds fantastic and frets have a lot of life left. It includes a generic black hardshell case (not Fender).
An almost 30-year old beauty.

Guitar Giraffe, Spain 
In the last few years, online sale for musical instruments has experienced an amazing growth, but has passed right through the pre-owned market (that is, in Spain), limiting it to specialised forums and private owners. This is why Guitar Giraffe was born, the first physical and online second hand guitar and amp store (we like to call it "pre-owned", since we see a big difference between both terms), with a clear commitment of giving new options to guitarists locally and worldwide. Pre-owned guitar stores, so common in UK and USA, were practically nonexistent in Spain. We’ve wanted to fill that empty space by becoming the first physical and online store in our country focused on pre-owned guitars and amps.
