This Stratocaster model was build to recreate Erics alltime favourite guitar; Blackie. Even though a true copy is hard to make, is this quite close...... After seing Steve Winwood play his white strat, Eric went to a store called Sho-Bud in Nashville, where he bought a hole bunch of strats. He gave one to Steve, one to Pete Townshend and one to George Harrison. From the rest of the strats he made his own personal Stratocaster, Blackie
