H/S/S Alnico pickups, Bendmaster Deluxe trem with locking nut, triangular neck inlays, black
binding on the body. Individual on/off switches for the single coil pickups, 3 way on/off/coil
tap switch for the humbucker.
The numbering system for the Clipper series is quite straightforward. The first digit is the
number of pickup coils on the guitar (2, 3 or 4) the next three describe the pickups
from neck to bridge (1 for single coil, 2 for humbucker). If there are only 2 pickups, the second
digit is 0.
There are four models in the Clipper series, the CL2011, CL3012, CL4112 and Clipper Six

As far as I can tell the Clipper series were manufactured during 1987/88, they may only have been
available in the UK/Europe, there is no mention of them in the US pricelists. Although the first
Clipper model (The Clipper Six) was originally produced by Matsumoku the vast majority of Clipper
models were made in Korea
At some point the specifications changed - the one below has the TRS-101 trem system and locking nut
