From a Rolling Stone interview. I think he's probably the only player to have a signature model from each of the big three: Fender, Martin and Gibson:

He already has the Fender and Martin sigs..

In the Lucy vid, why'd he turn the amp up? It was really loud. Why didn't he just step on a floorpedal? ?
That guitar had quite a history. An early LP that was apparently factory converted to humbuckers and refinished red, it was stolen for many years before being discovered in Mexico. George had to pay quite a sum to get it back from the owner who'd bought it legitimately.

The guy is turning 68 on March 30.....I think he carries his years very well...and he can still play a bit hey !
I think Mr Clapton looks fantastic.
Hopefully the $15,000 charged for these guitars goes to a good charity.

He probably couldn't hear himself, he is practically deaf from standing in front of Marshall stacks. I have seen some live performances I wished he would step on a pedal or something just to get some appealing tone.singemonkey wrote: In the Lucy vid, why'd he turn the amp up? It was really loud.

His live in Hyde Park performance/tone with the 335 into a cranked amp is pretty special though.
I tried the Martin 000-28EC at Marshall Cape yesterday. The strings were a little shot, but it is a very nice guitar. Cheaper than I expected too (US price is $4,599, local was under R30K IIRC).

We're all going to look old sometime, you just have to live long enough!
Considering what he has put into his body in the past I actually think he looks good.
I dont think its one of these models though?!Alan Ratcliffe wrote: I tried the Martin 000-28EC at Marshall Cape yesterday. The strings were a little shot, but it is a very nice guitar. Cheaper than I expected too (US price is $4,599, local was under R30K IIRC).
They'll only be available through guitar centre, and only 100 models too?
