Fender offered a Woody and Woody Jr. from the Custom shop, but.....
the only thing about those amps that were actually from the Custom Shop
was the wood cabinets. Everything else was all regular production Pro Junior 
and Blues Junior. They weren't wired point to point (as a Custom Shop would) 
they were just the electronics from the regular production electronics in a Custom Shop 
Cabinet. They were not re-issues, especially the old Fender Woodies. Probably why 
 they don't offer those models in the current Fender catalog. 
  There was also, for a short period, regular Hot Rod deluxes with wood cabinets 
(not Custom Shop) finished with a natural or sunburst finish. Also, the regular
production (no point to point wiring, etc). This year Fender is offering the Vibro King
(which is from Custom Shop, point to point, etc) and finished in dark stained maple and 
sunburst cabinets. These are just the same Custom Shop Vibro Kings with wood cabinets.
 The closest to a "Clapton" amp is the Custom Shop 1957 reissue Twin Amp in tweed that
 they released this year.
  Of course, Clapton doesn't use or has ever used these amps.
