Fender continues making Daphne Blue Strats for Clapton himself, though they're no longer available publicly.

The recent post regarding the EC Grey being offered on Ebay should be an indicator of how unreliable some information could be. Using generic Fender copy as a descriptor of this particular guitar is an example of what the unenlightened often have to deal with. Caveat emptor on eBay always. We've seen some real 'winners' up there in the past.

Sonny Landreth...the master of 'behind the slide.' There's a player who should be all over the map and isn't. Damn shame!

In this particular track Eric played a blistering solo with his daphne blue.

You should check the archives in Guitar Player Magazine. They did a feature article about him.

I've noticed that Willie Weeks' main axe for many years looked pretty much like this Closet Classic '58 Precision Bass:

It's a DiMarzio Fast-Track 1.

The AVHR '57 uses a similar configuration.
