To the music nuts

Mid winter boredom setting in, so I've been getting back into the guitars.
I "self" taught myself and learned a bunch of bad habits, so I got some
DVD instructional videos and have been practicing and trying to correct
some of my long established bad techniques. I've finally mastered
"Lying Eyes", doing both the chord progressions and riffs on a Taylor
acoustic/electric. Even Mrs. E. is impressed.
But, yesterday I visited our local "Music Unlimited" store. They sell
both new, used and consignment instruments.
One consignment guitar caught my eye. It was the Eric Clapton model of a
Fender Stratocaster. I resisted at first, went home, then said "screw
it" and went back and bought it. It's in perfect, like-new condition.
What nice guitar! I love it. The pickups are so hot that you have to
turn the gain on the amp down to about half that used for the other
electrics I have, including the Les Paul Gibson. And it has that very
characteristic Clapton sound.
Happy picker, here.
This is the exact model:
