Picked up one of these for a reasonable price a few weeks ago. 1989 (series 1) Eric Clapton Signature. The output from the active electronics is insane!

Nice. The other guitarist in my first band had a black one of those. I think the Lace sensors sound quite a bit better in those due to the electronics.

Indeed, very nice!

Beautiful! Always wanted one like this but they rarely pop up over here. Great find mate

WOW!
That's the coolest of the Claptons! 1st issue 7-UP green!
The mid boost circuit is my go-to for a guitar with singles. You get all the range of tones, from chime to push.
I use a few different mid boosts on my guitars. The original Fender MDX circuit is stock on my 84 Elite Strat, EMG SPC with SA set on a 87 American Standard Strat and with a T set on the 88 American Standard Tele, Demeter MB1 on an 84 Ibanez RS430, Jackson JE1200 on a baritone Strat partscaster. My Elite MDX is my preference. It's not crazy hot like the Clapton version. The Clapton revision added extra output gain to the circuit and a touch more midboost gain, too. Ya gotta turn the volume down a couple notches to get an output level that is more typical to a Strat.

Wow that's shwang-tastic Laurie! Unique color that, looks great
