ERIC CLAPTON SELLS OUT






MARTIN 00028 1974


Estimate $8,000-$12,000







LEE : "WHEN I FIRST JOINED ERIC, HE used to do a couple of acoustic songs in the set; Hello Old Friend and Sign Language. He had two Martins and this guitar is one of them. It's got a big bumper sticker on the side that says 'She's In Love With A Rodeo Man'. At the time Eric was really into the music of Don Williams and was doing things like Lay Down Sally and Tulsa Time. I don't know if it was Don who put the sticker on there or Eric, but that song was a big radio hit for Don at the time and I've never taken the sticker off. Eric used that guitar all the way through the 1970s."


RICHARD : "ERIC HAD A sponsorship with Guild, but he'd always loved Martins. He got that guitar in the'70s and it's got a Barcus Berry pickup in it. It's a great guitar and a very muscular instrument: very punchy and powerful."
