I have the Blind Faith video that came out 'bout a year and a half ago and it was said that Clapton was somewhat a guitar tinkerer. In the video he's playing a Telecaster body with a Stratocaster neck. Weird Hey?

It's reported that the neck that was on that Telecaster was Brownie's neck.

I've not read why Clapton did that.

The guitar in this famous photo:

is reportedly a Tele body with an Esquire neck.

I've played around with a Tele and found the neck to be a bit wide for my taste. Maybe Eric and Bruce felt the same.

I read something about him doing that too.

If you go here:

you'll note that Duane Allman also used a tele with a strat neck in the early days.
