Joe's Black Strat from ANDY DVD - What would you pay ? (Page 1 of 2)

What's the retail on Clapton Signature Strats?

Ya, the production version is now like $2000,

The Custom Shop version is $3000, which is a $1000 increase
as of a few of months ago

Not the best timing

Recently my old EC stratocaster I had was traded in on a les paul.  I had traded my dad that guitar for 2 other guitars and he decided he wanted a Les paul traditonal pro.  Soooo, he traded the guitar to Guitar Center.  I paid $1300 back in 2002 for a new 2001 EC model.  It was a special year because it was the first year to have vintage noiseless instead of the lace sensors.  Dad got $800 for the guitar which is more then what you'll sell them on ebay for.  The man said the ec was mint and knocked another $200 off the new guitar.  So $900 later dad got a way better guitar.  i think if you look in the vintage section on guitar center still you'll find it in mattews, nc store for $1400.  They wont get it but  anyway if you look at Joe's its a 89' model i believe which is the most sought after year of that guitar.  I've seen 89's run for $2000+ without Joe playing them.  So i'll say $4000 would be my limit on joes guitar, only because i wouldn't put it away and never play it.  If i own it it would be played.

$4000 is what I was thinking, right on the button

I actually own the guitar, "if" I had to part with it
I was wondering what the value would be

lol .. I know, I would offer it here first

It is a cool catch

I dug Joe's Strat tone

With a good bit of documentation regarding it's previous owner, yeah?

+ mucho!

I know you have it Rick. If you do want to let it go, please consider me. Joes Esquire I would sacrifice my left nut for.

Monetarily, all monies would be gladly donated to BITS.

"Enjoy"
