Gitarę na której Eric Clapton zagrał po raz pierwszy na płycie „461 Ocean Boulevard” skontruował sam, czarny stratocaster zwany „blackie”.



Eric wspomina że mimo uwielbienia dla Buddy Hollego i Buddy Guya sam używał głownie Gibsona. Po zakupie w Sho-Bud w Nashville sześciu sztuk stratocasterów za „garść miedziaków” (100 $ za sztukę), podobno wówczas był to już instrument nie modny. Trzy egzemplarze podarował znajomym Stevie Winwoodowi, Pete’owi Townshendowi i Georgeowi Harrisonowi, a z pozostałych trzech sztuk sam stworzył gitarę wybierając najlepsze elementy każdej z nich.

W 2004 roku Clapton wystawił gitarę na akucję, z której całkowity dochód wspomógł założone przez niego centrum leczenia uzależnień - The Crossroads Centre w mieście Antigua. Gitarę sprzedano na aukcji za 959.000$.

Kolejnym etapem w historii „Blackie’’ było wypożyczenie jej od szczęśliwego nabywcy i przetransportowanie do miasta Corona w Kalifornii, gdzie pracownicy Fender Custom Shop mieli dokonać szczegółowych badań, analiz oraz pomiarów stworzonej przez Erica unikalnej konstrukcji.

Dzięki pozyskanym informacjom oraz pracy specjalnego zespołu konstruktorów Fender Custom Shop oraz Eric Clapton odtworzyli ten legendarny instrument z dbałością o najmniejszy szczegół. Od zużytego do żywego drewna korpusu, przez wytarty ręką mistrza gryf, po ślady od papierosów na główce, na dotkniętym upływem czasu i ilością miejsc które odwiedził futerale kończąc – każdy najmniejszy detal został wiernie zrekonstruowany.

Wszystkie części, w tym przystawki wraz z elektroniką zostały zbudowane w oparciu o niedostępne już niemal materiały i zapomnianą technologię oraz postarzone zgodnie z unikalnymi specyfikacjami oryginału, by „czarna piękność” mogła ponownie zalśnić swoim magicznym blaskiem.

Wyprodukowano 275 sztuk „Master-Built Fender Custom Shop Tribute Series „Blackie’’
