Fender Custom Shop Andy
Summers Tribute Telecaster
£5500.00
This is a very special Limited Edition run of which only 250 instruments were produced. It's a note-
perfect replica of the 1961 Tele® that Summers used to help propel the Police to untold heights of
worldwide pop superstardom.
Featuring the ferocious humbucking neck pickup and single coil bridge pickup mounted in the body
rather than in the broken brass (not chrome) bridge plate; a control plate-mounted mini-toggle phase
switch; body-mounted preamp on/off mini-toggle switch (the Custom Shop has recreated the Police-
era preamp); the rear-mounted overdrive unit controlled by a third knob below the two traditional
Telecaster volume and tone controls; "soft" brass bridge pieces and Schaller® tuners. We think you
should have a Special Licence to play this one. What a great guitar! Complete with Case Candy & Flight
Case.

VERY RARE FIND!
In 2003 the Fender Custom Shop got
together with the Vaughan family to
recreate the main axe of Stevie Ray
Vaughan and offer it in very Limited
numbers.
Only 100 were made by Master Builder
John Cruz. These guitars evaporated into
collections very quickly and this is a rare
chance to purchase one for yourself. We
challenge you to FIND ANOTHER!!! This is
a great example complete with Case

Fender Custom Shop Stratocaster - Eric Clapton ‘Blackie’ Tribute Relic
£23,750.00
Limited Edition - Highly collectible - Investment grade instrument
Exact Replica of Eric Clapton’s original Blackie Strat
This guitar hardly needs an introduction. Eric Clapton’s original Blackie Stratocaster is well known among guitar aficionados as one of the world’s
most iconic musical instruments. It is also well known for selling at auction for over $950,000, raising money for Eric Clapton’s Crossroads
Rehabilitation Centre in Antigua. This guitar is just in on consignment and has been collector owned and cared for. No serious issues, repairs, etc…
Comes with the original Flight Case which is a replica of the actual “Duck Bros” case that the real Blackie came with as well as some accessories and
collateral that is pictured (certificate of authenticity). Like all our used / vintage gear it has been tested for functionality and priced to move. Sold as-
is. What you see is what you get.
In the late '60s, Eric Clapton personally combined the best elements of three vintage Stratocaster guitars to create the original Blackie, which now
bears the battle scars of decades of touring, jamming, recording and songwriting. In 2004, Eric generously offered Blackie for auction to benefit the
Crossroads Centre, Antigua. On June 24, what was already the most famous guitar in the world also became the most valuable. The winning bid was
$959,000! Blackie then traveled to the Fender Custom Shop in Corona, CA USA, where it was carefully analyzed and meticulously measured to capture
every essence of its unique character.
This legendary instrument has now been painstakingly re-created by the Fender Custom Shop. Right down to the last authentic detail. From the
worn-to-the-wood body, to the neck re-shaped by Eric's hand as he played a thousand heartfelt solos. From the unmistakable cigarette burns on the
headstock, to the world-weary flight case – every historical detail is faithfully re-created. All the parts, pickups and electronics are aged and matched
to the original, unique specifications of Blackie.
This is one of only 185 guitars originally produced for the US Market. It is serial number and was Masterbuilt by Mark Kendrick, one of Fender’s most
senior Master Builders. Complete with all paperwork and original HSC.
