    I don't understand why you guys keep lending Clapton your guitars. If he wants to play why doesn't he buy his own?

    P.S.
    Nice guitar. Too bad I'm only interested in Gitanes with Fernando Lamas picture on it (although I might consider Charles Bronson in the "Hard Times" period) :)

    They want his DNA.

    At the end of the day, Eric Clapton is probably a better guitar player than any of us posting on this forum. He is truly one of the legends of our instrument. He will be remembered long after names like Stochelo or Tchavalo are long forgotten.

    I'd be OK getting some of his DNA on my hands....

    Probably so. I'm not sure though the whole idea of having your name written in the stone for Eternity has a lot to do with the Gypsy way of life... that said, how can you forget a name like TCHAVOLO??? :D

    I think that would depend upon how you define better.

    I believe that he is a very good guitar playing musician who was creative and passionate about his craft and due to a number of outliers ended up becoming very famous. Throughout his career there were guys who have a broader technical skill who played with as much feeling and wrote just as well who didn't become famous. I don't know why ...maybe ask Simon Cowell :shock: :lol: I think if one delves into his interviews and such that would probably pretty equate with his view of himself.

    He got to where he is by a lot of work and took his lucky breaks and made the best of them. More power to him.

    LOL!

    Just for the record, Clapton loves Django and used to own this Dupont MD30 (then sold during the famous auction at Christie's some years ago):
