they advertise on their first page a Guild Starfire of Hendrix sold for $250k and they have a Melody Maker of his up in the same clapton auction now....min bid on that is $10k....they got alot of stuff ....Christ, I had a friend in the'80s who bought one of Hendrix's Strats for a mere $13K... wonder what THAT would go for now?
Yep, there is a brief clip showing Clapton playing a post '72 Strat. I have no idea when or why he was playing that, but the big head bullet truss rod wasn't a guitar he regularly used.Is it me or does the video show Clapton playing large headstock 70's era Strat?
Maybe at G. Harrison's Concert for Bangladesh, or something with Harrison? After going solo Harrison played contemporary 3-bolt, large head Strats. Maybe Clapton played one of Harrison's for shits and giggles.Yep, there is a brief clip showing Clapton playing a post '72 Strat.

Just a screw up by whoever produced the vid.
Brownie was the Layla guitar. Clapton auctioned it off in '99. Paul Allen bought it and it's on display at his Experience Music Project museum in Seattle.Didn't GC make a few "Brownie" reissues?
This is the Layla guitar, right?
Concert for Bangladesh was August '71, so before Fender switched to bullet truss rods on Strats. And Clapton still had very long hair and no beard for Bangladesh.Maybe at G. Harrison's Concert for Bangladesh, or something with Harrison? After going solo Harrison played contemporary 3-bolt, large head Strats. Maybe Clapton played one of Harrison's for shits and giggles.
George only did two solo tours. Dark Horse in '74 were all pre-CBS Strats, and the small Japanese tour in '91 was post-CBS FMIC small head Strats (and Teles).Maybe at G. Harrison's Concert for Bangladesh, or something with Harrison? After going solo Harrison played contemporary 3-bolt, large head Strats. Maybe Clapton played one of Harrison's for shits and giggles.
