check another off the ol' bucket list
Whats the part at 7:25 ?
All you needed was Jimi Hendrix's guitar strap for the trifecta.
@Thrashing-Bassist 7432 freebird.
Pick of destiny
Pretty specific thing to have on your bucket list. Is playing famous people's guitar something you're into? Lol😉
okay... Eric... WTH is your guitar even doing here?!? so many questions... whoever buys this guitar, and i don't care who you are... you are not worthy
It didn't sell and they are taking offers.
People are so stupid. It's just a good guitar and that's it.
3:52 song name?
They never said it's the same guitar as the one in the footage folks. They're just showing Eric Clapton playing a guitar. The Eric Clapton in the footage is the same Eric Clapton that played this guitar. That part is correct.
Sounds like what you hear people play at guitar center
Love the ween shirts
Too bad it will end up in someone's glass case not being played.
And you did it wearing a Ween shirt?
Anything is only worth what some idiot is prepared to pay for it. I have an old pair of socks that's worth $500.00, any takers out there???
This isn’t one million dollars I have the same guitar and it’s only 600 from the music storw
The video footage near the end shows a different guitar.. look at the headstock. Very nicely played though.
WOW...great talent...real live guitar...sounds fantastic...thank you
Should have played Stairway to Heaven
It would be really fun to play an instrument like this, but if I paid that much money for it, I would never touch it, and probably never enjoy it.
I think THIS guitar is not the one EC plays in the footage shown - this one has a small headstock while the one in the video has the large one.
Cue Waynes World, "we're not worthy, we're not worthy."
They could have invited John Petrucci over, he's in Long Island.
5:04 into the video, is this a song or something you cooked up on the fly? Sounds so familiar and so great at the same time!
Crossroads by Cream.
nice nice bro
Not the same guitar on the Clapton video. This one is a '57 -ish fixed bridge, 8 screw single layer pick guard with classic '50s pre-CBS head stock with original "Fender" logo, the one in the video has a vibrato bridge, 10 screw triple layer pick guard and large [CBS era] head stock with the fat "Fender" logo. CBS Strats were popular with slide work due to the extra wood for tone. Either this was accompanying the guitar Eric is playing on the video or it's just another one of his quivers he had, but not the same guitar.
wow...what a tone. It sounded like I hoped it did.
Sounds like shit. Then again, we are talking about Clapton.
There is only ONE that can make it Hum like it should .
nicccceeee car bruhhh
The guitar from the old footage has a 70's style neck...
Wooow!!!! It sounds like a Stratocaster...
That ween shirt tho
Bruh THE KEY HANGER!!!
thats buttery
Good for you. Great content through a great channel. Saw this shortly from your Klon video. Just as these pieces were meant from their original manufacturers, they were meant from the players and crafters that made them. To be played! Noone forget that, no matter the price tag!
Imagine getting the guitar out and instantly dropping it
@My Brother Donnie Holy shit, that’s crazy.
@My Brother Donnie thank you i am now slightly smarter
There was a Stradivarian Cello that some guy in an orchestra left sitting on his porch accidentally, crook runs up and grabs it, tries to ride off on a bike and falls and crushes the whole thing. The Cello was worth over a million dollars. The crook threw it in the trash, a woman driving down the road saw the case sitting in the trash and picked it up, she said she could see the trash truck at the end of the street heading that way. She took it home and told her boyfriend to turn the crushed cello (made by Stradivarius) into a bookshelf. for two days he was too lazy to do it, then promised her he'd DEFINITELY do it that day. So she goes to work and sees a news story that a Stradivarian Cello was stolen off some dude's porch and recognized the pictures. She rushes home... and her boyfriend was too lazy to make the bookshelf that day either so he hadn't cut it up yet. They took it to this world renown expert in vintage instruments and he completely repaired the crushed front of the cello as good as new and got it back to the owner, I believe it was all in San Francisco about 15 years ago.
There probably 1.7 million dollars in equipment in that room.
Hah more than that i bet
That into alone made me sub
That’s cool, but I’m partial to Deaner’s 61’ Hail the Boognish!
Sorry you guys need passports to travel to another state.
What’s the song called on your first riff you did?
HE DIDNt PLaY LaYLa!!!!??
holy fuck
i would just start making a bunch of “imagine if it slipped” or “woah almost dropped it” jokes
Not exactly the same as the one in the video footage of Clapton, though, is it? Large headstock v. small headstock. Either a different guitar or it had a neck change at some stage.
I noticed that to.
Also the one in the footage has a tremelo arm hole this ones bridge doesn't.
Notice the Sphagetti Fender logo and the Other Fender logo in the footage with larger headstock.
This guitars headstock is different notice in the video footage it's a larger. The one that is demonstrated has a different neck. Guitar plays good but I doubt whether it is the original. Just check it out.
So I can buy one for $85000usd but because Clapton owned and played it, its now valued at $1.5M, whats in a name, obviously a lot of losers think heaps.
7:14 I forgot I turned my subtitles on it's said "wow" 😂
I just love hardtail Strats!! And so do Ronnie Wood and Joe Bonamassa!! Kinda Stratty and yet a little Tele toned!!
if blind folded and they said try this..not knowing. would it be just another strat
Pretty much yes, it would.
So how much did it sell for ?
no fender is worth 1.5 million
what is the song he plays at 3:52
weeeeeen!
Well, we know he played a LOT in E, A, and D. A little bit in C. If the user tracks can be trusted. Probably de-tuned for the flat keys.
Imagine... You are a billionaire... Year 2081... How much would you pay for frusciante's strat ? Place your bid
that guitar never saw a pinky finger before.... Its like, " theres 4 fingers? "
It looks like a 250 dollar guitar.... thats d irony of a guitar. All of us can have a high end guitar from 2,5k to 20k dollars and it still looks like a 300 dollar guitar.
Boognish. Clapton was only ever as good as who he played with. Overrated.
Dear charlatans: neither the sound, nor the handling of a 1.5 Million Dollar guitar is thousend times better as a 1.500 Dollar guitar and also, neither the sound, nor the handling of a 1.500 Dollar guitar is thousend times worse, than a 1.5 Million Dollar guitar. It`s a typical "brain-fart of a handful of idiots" !!!!!!
It didn't sell 💀💀
so - what did it go for ?
That is a once in a lifetime opportunity. Ok can anyone give me an estimate ( How much a 1972 Fender Telecaster Custom ) would be the going rate. Reason is I own one it is a walnut brown with a black pick guard, maple neck. I also have the black original guitar case with the red velvet interiors. In 1973 my parents bought it for me. The guitar case cost $ 80 dollars and the guitar cost $ 375.00 back then. What would it be worth today?
Plot Twist: This is the dooo with another alias
is it just me who is more excited over the gene simmons bass in the background.
I saw my house from the airplane window
what has become of the original neck?
Well it sounds fat for a Strat
It sounds the same as others to me, pretty normal.
Yuk cringe 😩
You are awesome.... I love the way you play the guitar.... 🥰
Wow notice sir Music is Win
i am imagining how many Squire strats & teles i could buy with that $1.5 million
At least 1
Clapton is the most overrated musician change my mind
I think many blues and rock guitarists elicit the feeling that makes a fella say "I could do that." And, you can do what they do- which makes it all the more confusing. But if you go back to day one of Clapton, listen to his body of work and creativity the past 55+ years, you may wake up and realize you are dreaming. Every few years, he took it to a new level. Many have played Mozart, but there was only one Mozart. Or George Harrison or BB King. Simple but original in their own way.
Why show footage of Clapton playing a completely different guitar?
If nobody bid on it it ...never-mind. Here is the Eric Clapton, the great philanthropist charity story. I'm having an awful time picturing this...if you want the How Eric Clapton stole 10 thousand dollars of my family money at rehab in Antigua you would not think of him so highly. I hate people that get on social media and undermine someones success, in fact this is a first for me...I think. Guitar gods, eddie vh and jeff beck love him so I should too, but forgiveness hasn't arrived...ed's picks over the guitar any day ..
Who are you Tyler? Pretty good guitar player and if you did the video too, especially the first one minute it is superb... id hire you to do a video for me any day.
I love the way he kiss
Man you're so lucky. I would do anything to even pluck one string on Eric's guitar
I dont play guitar but i know to hear who plays it well and you rock. Yeah !!!
Große Kopfplatte (Clapton Strat) versus kleine Kopfplatte? Sind nicht identisch, vermute ich mal!
Guys, guys... Fender made thousands of these...
I'd take SRV'S #1 over anything Clapton any day of the week.
Its a guitar, get over it.
800 bucks. Nothing more. I can play. Tele or strat, spanish or jazz guitar. Dreadnought, 6 or 12 strings. Bass guitars, JB or Rick. Guitar is about player, not instrument.
Playing claptons guitar with a ween tshirt! Very simpathetic..
Watching a 1million and a half guitar price. While my guitar is only 2k pesos in US $ IS 40 BUCKS . But im thankful i have one 😅 . Its start nothing at the beningging 😂😂
Wow
Covid19 came from the Gong behind him
If I had the money I think I would want the blackie from David Gilmore .
I believe he auctioned that one off to
You could buy a $1,500 stratocaster and it would play and sound well as Clapton’s strat
The way he was handling it above his head with one hand gave me anxiety
Don't want sounds jealous but I'm happy with my Epiphone , the amplifier do the rest . Spider for example
The bidding for the guitar started at 1Million and nobody bid on it unfortunately. It did not sell.
Thats bs all of it no proof if that was true you would have it signed
So its really not a 1.5 mill guitar
Jag
Whoa is that a Peavey?!
I really feel that knocked down the value alot after you played it after Clapton was the last to play it but im extremely jelly
