[Slowhand] CLAPTON ACOUSTICS

[Jeff Elliott]

Having had the chance to see Eric play in London recently and the excellent
DC Winwood-Clapton show (I don't have the status of DeltaNick but he was
right, what an unbelievable show!), I've noticed something during the
acoustic sets.  Andy Fairweather Low and Steve Winwood were both sporting
what I believe to be the new Martin Limited Edition Eric Clapton 000-28M.
Not sure if that's the exact model but they're definitely EC models.
Regardless, very sweet guitars.  So, are they gifts from Eric or Martin?  Or
were they forced to fork over the six grand themselves?  Inquiring minds
want to know.  Okay, I'm just curious.  I think it's pretty cool both
Winwood AND Andy are playing Clapton acoustics.  Andy's website opens with
him holding the axe on the front page.  Too cool.

 

Cheers,
