Yes, those were my thoughts originally, I think I might just do that, and let sleeping dogs lie...

They are numbered, the COA reads 51 of 100... according to GC 51 to 100 are the numbers destined to U.S. market but don't quote me on that one...


very interesting, as usually the low serial numbers tend to go to US.

so yours is the lowest in the US, at least according to source?

TK's doing around 100 pieces. I'll be interested in knowing where M's guitar sits in the order. It's possible to become brain dead after time with an order like that, although the Cruz Mayer guitar did not suffer that fate so I'm told. UB can speak to that. I'll catch up later...It's 12:14 a.m. :cry:


the mayer did have the advantage that the fretboard is rosewood, bypassing the usual pitfall of consistency (i.e. the maple neck wear).

bodies have typically been very consistent on blackie, srv, blk1, etc. from what i have seen

Indeed, at this point I'm not sure what to do but I'm inclined to telling my guy to try to get a completely unpacked guitar... the thing about it is that the one that's on display is dead on accurate and I'm concerned that if I ask for the unpacked it might not be as dead on as the demo...
Thoughts Doc? UffBoy? Alain?

Go for the "demo"
At least you can see what you buy.

Thanks for all the input guys, this helps a lot, in the end I think I might do just that and go for the demo... another thing to consider is the weight, which is very nice must be around 7.2/7.4lbs which is consistent with guitars of those days, meaning 56's, so there are a lot o things in play, the wear, the color, the weight, cigarette burns, the placement of the decals, the color of the volume tone knobs, notice how those are white, while the pickups look more yellowish... etc... OCD anyone?

I wonder how particular we'd be about details if Fender were reproducing the women Eric wrote Layla for. Some of those specs have never been made public.:oops: :oops:

I prefer it the way it is now, because it carries the history with Clapton until sold in auction... Yes you're probably right about the weight... everything point towards keeping the demo, why look for trouble otherwise...
