Well I have not been here in a while. I home and 5 & 6 year old boys take most of my time so. Anyway, my current gear is an 8? Epiphone by Gibson
Homemade strat (sort of strat) my first and only guitar I built. Got the stuff on eBay. The body is ?, electronics is top notch, neck is 95' made in Japan 54' reissue. Had both of these for well over 10 years. The strat looks and plays like an old rock solid strat.
2011 Gibson SG LTD 60s reissue (hardly play it and will sell it)
93 Jackson Dinky see through green. Nice player and sounder. Completely original. (for sale too).
2012 Epiphone EL-00 (awesome little acoustic well worth the $299 4 installments from zzound...s.
Line 6 2x12 axis (something?) amp hardly use it.
Marshall acoustic amp 100w ast100 I think

2010 Fender CS LTD Clapton sig Strat Clapton Grey
2012 Fender Clapton Vibro-champ
These 2 are the best gear I have ever had. I have had the Clapton Sig (green), the CS Blackie, and they do not compare with this LTD Grey Strat. It seems like it calls my to play. It is so easy to play and great sounding. Anyway...how much is the 2010 CS LTS Clapton Strat worth?

Actually I could not see the images in the preview so here is a link to the albulm. The silver beat up strat is the one i built.

Here it is: I built it at a private boarding school I taught at in Hancock, NY one weekend. I thought I was Mr Luthier. Showed it off, took it to my guitar guy (Tom Dobrovich), got it back, and THEN did I see what it should have played like. I had it way off. Anyway, it is rock solid. It spent much time laying, leaning, all over my home. Always stays tuned.

Here is my 2010 Fender Custom Shop Limited Edition Ferrari Grey Clapton Stratocaster. Does anybody know what these can go for? Talk to me. It is the best playing guitar I have ever played (and I've been playing for almost 4 months...)ha ha. Maybe a little longer. But I buy them, say I will keep them forever, then one day I betray them.

Well, I am impressed! The guitar you built looks original Fender to me. The custom shop Clapton Strat is a beaut! I'm sure it is worth a fortune! (Thanks for the Google link. Got a good look at your guitars, but the separate pics you attached to your post wouldn't open.)
