In 2006, the Guitar Center, with Eric Clapton’s permission, announced it would issue a limited edition of Blackie replicas in connection with Fender Guitars a part of their master-built Tribute Series. A portion of each sale benefits the Crossroads Centre at Antigua. On 17 May, 2006 Eric played the first Blackie Prototype for three songs during his concert at London’s Royal Albert Hall. On 24 November 2006 (the day after Thanksgiving in America and known as “Black Friday” as it is the busiest shopping day of the year with many sales in shops), 275 Blackie replicas went on sale to the public and sold out in one day. One hundred eighty five were sold in the United States through the Guitar Center. The remainder were sold internationally.

$21k ... a little to steep for me. It even has the cigarette burns on the headstock.

yeah...if I were going to spend $21k on a Strat, I would buy an actual pre-CBS closet queen, not a 'relic-ed' modern guitar.

The whole relic-ing thing just doesn't sit well with me from the get-go...seems 'out-integrity' to me. There's only one proper way to put wear on a guitar IMHO.

For those Eric Clapton fans with plenty of spare cash. (Alas, I'm neither).
