Does anyone have an idea of how many Daphne Blue Clapton's were built?
Just wondering. I have one and will never part with it, but am just curious of how many are out there! Thanks

There is an auction currently on ebay for a Ltd Ed Daphne Blue Clapton where the seller states "only 50 of these were made". :roll:

I wonder where he came up with this number? I hope he's right but I really doubt it. :lol:

Thanks for the Ebay info. I called Fender, and they said they were not at liberty to reveal the number.

I'm pretty sure they were limited to just being made in that certain year (2010) If it was a true Ltd Ed each guitar would be numbered. Correct?

I sent an email asking the Ebay guy how he came up with the number. I will let you know if he responds. I called Fender and they said they knew, but were not at liberty to say. You are so correct about serial numbers. The guy at Fender said, " We give out numbers of limited runs, such as SRV No. 1, Lenny, Blackie Tribute, etc". He said if he knew the number, he would tell me. Maybe I just need to call Fender and talk to the right guy. It is not that big of a deal, but I would like to know. I will never part with mine, and I have had masterbuilt Claptons by Todd Krauss, with super flame necks and different colors, but this blue Clapton just feels and sounds too good to put down. When I go to bed, it sits next to me. I play all the time for a living, so I am very blessed.

They were ltd editions for the years 2009 (Europe, Asia) and 2010 (US). Not limited in number.

Serial nrs aren't of any use; the ltd's carry regular CZxxxxxx nrs, besides that serial nrs at FCS are all over the place.

I want you guys to know that I really appreciate your input.
Paul
PS- here is the response from the Ebay seller of the blue Clapton, he has. He said there are only 50 of the blue Claptons. After reading the response, I am sure you will agree, you cannot believe anything you read, and only half of what you see.

Paul,
This is what I was told by a friend who is a TOTAL Clapton freak. He is the most avid E.C. fan I've ever met. Let me call him and see if he can tell me if there's a way to document and verify this info. Please feel free to e-mail me at my 'real' e-mail address so I can respond to you if I'm out and about.

It's the same deal as with the 50th Anniversary '54 Strat. Just a ltd ed to that year, 2004. There have been some guys around here hounding ME for a total but he or Fender won't disclose. It's their "business". :wink:

Probably not good business practice to blab out your numbers.
