Clapton no longer plays Mercedes Blue Strats. :|



The "one-off" Mark Kendrick did for him in 1996 was already sold years ago!

i was having a little fun at my own expense as i distracted valuabel forum time and resources several years ago, analyzing mercedes vs midnight blue and their relative merits:)


I do remember that discussion vividly. Those were good times, only I didn't realize it at that time... Makes me smile that inadvertently my personal route has been almost a carbon copy of yours Ufboy. I'm still waiting on the end result though....

I've posted the video from the Hyde Park Concert as a reference subject to my previous post.

Look close at the picture I took from the OCK gig! It's the trusty old EC Grey Strat, not a Mercedes Blue! :twisted:

As I said earlier, Eric no longer uses Mercedes Blue Strats, the original 1996 one-off he played at Hyde Park was sold for the Christies charity auction in 1999.

He probably uses that to dig his Ferrari out of the gravel when he pushed the gas a tad too much on the drive... :wink:

What a funny question.

YEP the EC Red project has been abandoned because Eric hasn't approved the colour yet.

Maybe he'll change his mind next year.

The grigio silverstone finish is quite tricky under the lights and often appears darker. It also has a metallic quality which the Mercedes Blue lacks and, in the flesh, Mercedes Blue is close to black than the grey. IMHO, the guitar in the Holy Mother video is not EC Grey. The guitar in the 31 March closeup IS. But what the hell do I know :!: :wink:
