A guy like that most probably has the real deal and hundred like those real deals in storage.

Well, he probably can afford it. Haven't got the slightest how many vintage guitars EC still has. Remember a considerable portion was sold off in three auctions some years ago. To my knowledge, no numbers or details on Clapton's personal collection have been revealed since the auctions, so I guess we'll have to ask Eric or his guitar tech. :roll:

Also, the real "Brownie" was actually a June 1956 Strat.....so it makes me wonder about the neck profile. Would it actually be the 10/56 profile?


Something close to it, probably. I remember EC describing the neck of Brownie as rounded and clubby when compared to Blackie. These sort of terms also pop into my mind if I feel the 10/56 profile... rounded and clubby...
