this is the colour that happens, when you piss in a 2 liter coke bottle and stash it under the porch for a few weeks.
urine stain finish.

I don't think I can imagine a worse Strat

Take an antigua strat, and then stick Eric Clapton's name on it. Aye, least desirable guitar ever.

Quite like it. Colour is more authentic than Japanese Antigua. Could do with rosewood neck and less Claptons though.

So basically, they want a special clapton strat but neither clapton or fender had a clue what to do?

Unless clapton is know for playing antigua guitars and I've missed something.

Clapton is the Patron or something of a rehab centre in Antigua. He sells his famous guitars to raise money for it and does a yearly festival.

I would assume that some money for this guitar will be going towards it as well.

Ohh I forgot about that.

In that case it's sort of cool I suppose.
