“I PLAYED IT FOR YEARS AND YEARS.” ERIC CLAPTON

“BROWNIE” ERIC CLAPTON’S FIRST STRATOCASTER®

The guitar behind “Layla” and the unforgettable, soaring sound of rock’s greatest love song. The Fender Custom Shop presents the Eric Clapton “Brownie” Tribute Stratocaster; the “Layla” guitar.

The Fender Custom Shop now introduces a faithful recreation of Clapton’s first Stratocaster, meticulously crafted after extensive examination of and research on the real “Brownie.” All but indistinguishable from the original (down to the smallest nicks, scratches, dings, cigarette burns and more), the Fender Custom Shop Eric Clapton “Brownie” Tribute Stratocaster takes you back to that pivotal period in Clapton’s life and career.

The guitar comes in a special black textured vinyl Derek and the Dominos “Fragile” case. Special extras include a numbered certificate of authenticity hand-signed by Clapton, the 40th Anniversary Deluxe Edition box set of Layla and Other Assorted Love Songs, a Fender Custom Shop story and photo album booklet, and a Crossroads Antigua brochure.
