The Fender Stratocaster FSR Classic Player 60s Stratocaster Vegas Gold Sparkle is a true homage to the iconic style and sound of the 1960s. This solid body electric guitar captures the essence of vintage tone while integrating modern playability for today's musicians.

Eric Clapton's Fender Stratocaster in Gold Sparkle features a maple neck, a 21-fret rosewood fingerboard, and gold-plated metal parts. It also includes a 'Pin-Up' girl transfer and various stickers, such as a Little Feat Tour VIP pass. This guitar, with its unique cigarette burn on the headstock, comes in a Fender tweed hardshell case labeled BONAMASSA and has been played on stage by Joe Bonamassa since he was seventeen. Details are documented by Bonhams.

The current listing for the "Fender Stratocaster - Gold Sparkle" is incorrect and should be removed. Sonia Sturino's actual guitar is a "Fender FSR Standard Stratocaster HSS Sunfire Orange Flake," which I purchased from her in 2018.
