Big week if you're a Clapton fan ...

... And absolutely loaded!

Not well associated enough with Slowhand for his name to be all over them IMO.

Limited edition Gibson Firebird 1, from his time in Cream: https://www.peachguitars.com/guitars/electric-guitars/solid-body/gibson-custom-eric-clapton-64-firebird-1-vintage-sunburst-vos.htm

Custom Shop Fender Telecaster custom, from his days in Blind Faith:

Firebird all day long for me (if I was rich and right handed).

7k for the ‘bird is a bit steep IMO.

His sig Gibson’s have held their value well though. I wonder how long that will last.

Nice but no thanks £6,000 for a fire bird. You can already buy a custom shop fb1 for half that.

Love that Firebird but you aren’t far off a repaired headstock original at that money...

Absolutely insane money for the Gibson. Insane.

Now, I’d pay good money for a copy of Clapton’s The Fool SG. Not to The Painted Player though...

Seven grand for a repro single pickup 'Bird' ... chuffing ridiculous. Lovely guitar, but falls into the realm of rich collector's conversation piece ... not for yer average joe.

Some see a problem, others an opportunity ;-)
