This Mercedes Blue EC brings me a lot of memories everytime I watch the famous "Hyde Park" concert on many Internet tube sites.

Image

Clapton played the original Mark Kendrick-masterbuilt "one-off" signature model with the Lace Sensors during the Prince's Trust concert at Hyde Park in June 29th, 1996 along with a Gibson Super 400, the famous Cherry Red 1964 ES-335 and the Martin 000-42EC, his first "signature" acoustic guitar used extensively on the "Unplugged" DVD in 1992.

Many of these instruments were sold for the Crossroads Centre charity auction at Christies a couple of years later.

You're right, I've just edited my last post.

The original Midnight Blue Strat was used for the Armani party gig a couple of weeks after the Hyde Park concert. Clapton played this guitar during a performance held at the Novi Sad Park of Modena (Italy) with Sheryl Crow and the late Luciano Pavarotti the same year.

Clapton uses a variety of Martin signature dreadnoughts nowadays, one of which is a custom 000-ECHF.

Until recently we saw him on-tour with Bellezza Nera, Bellezza Bianca and a sunburst 000-28M.
