This guitar is another one of the most incredible Stratocasters I've ever seen. It took a lot of money and a lot of time to track this one down as well. Bacchus made a very limited few vintage Eric Clapton replicas, and I was lucky enough to get my hands on one. I bought this one brand new at the new price, and I have all original receipts/documents which are included. The finish on this guitar is polyurethane only because it protects the 94.43% pure Nagano Japanese gold finish (YES, IT IS REAL GOLD FROM THE JAPANESE HILLS). Stamped certificate is included. The pickups are Fender USA Gold Lace Sensors and the neck of the guitar is highly-flamed maple of the highest quality. It is a fairly light stratocaster in comparison to others. There is no Bacchus headstock logo, because, I was told by a Bacchus rep, the few customers these guitars were designed for wanted the Fender logo put on. Of course, Bacchus would not comply, so they just left off their own logo to make it easier to put the Fender logo on. It has full documentation, certificates and the gold Bacchus engraved neckplate as well.
