This must be Eric Clapton guitar giveaway week here at GearPipe! This contest isn’t quite as spectacular as the last one, but I doubt any of you will complain.
This Clapton guitar giveaway is brought to you by, curiously enough, fellow bluesman Joe Bonamassa. He’s giving away a Fender Eric Clapton Signature Stratocaster to raise awareness for his Keeping The Blues Alive Foundation, a non-profit created by Bonamassa, which seeks to promote blues music education and support music scholarships in an effort to keep the blues alive.

V-shaped neck. 9-1/2″-radius fretboard. Blocked original vintage synchronized tremolo bridge. Made in the U.S.
