Having watched a very old video with Chas Hodges, Dave Peacock and Albert Lee; I was totally fascinated after seeing Eric Clapton playing a Pewter Strat with regular single-coils and circuitry.

True or false? Clapton was not using Pewter Strats until 1986!

Well he did have quite the collection? Maybe a borrowed guitar would be my guess.

FWIW

When I went to the Montreal Hard Rock Cafe in '97?-the same time Lady Diana died- I had my picture taken holding a pewter Start that Clapton had used on a tour.

That pic looks more like McCartney playing the Strat...never noticed any resemblance before though. :?

It's Eric! Paul plays left-handed guitars.

With Chas and Dave??? Really?

Seems a bit far fetched to me. Anyway you don't know what's in the guitar. Just the colour of it. I wouldn't assume aything mate.

Chas and Dave TV Show
Royal Club, Guildford, Surrey - December 22, 1982

http://geetarz.org/reviews/clapton/chas ... ve-vcd.htm

Eric joined singer/songwriters "Chas and Dave" on their special Christmas TV programme and performed "Slow Down Linda" and "Good Night Irene". The guitar I'm talking about looks close to the Pewter prototypes he used in the mid-to-late-1980s and early 1990s.

After all, why not asking Doc and Rob? Both know almost everything else about Clapton's gear stuff over the years.

Great Scott - it's for real! There's even a video link at the bottom of the page so's we can watch it if we're foolish enough. I warn you, it ain't a classic.

If anyone gives it a view - am I seeing things? There seems to be a strangely familiar gentleman clapping wildly in the audience at 1:59 during Slow Down Linda...

Also. I always thought Dave (on bass) looked a lot like a healthier version of Pete Townshend from about five years earlier. 'Cept his trousers don't reach his shoes.

Cheers - C
