Just had a full service, re-string and electronics check by Wyatt Audio through GAK in Brighton. Video report available via the link below. Clean bill of health and ready to go to a new owner.Eric Clapton sold his beloved Cherry Red Gibson ES-335 at auction on 24 June 2004 to help raise funds for the alcohol and drug rehabilitation facility, Crossroads Centre at Antigua, which he founded in 1997. It sold for a staggering $847,500 and was purchased by the U.S. music retailer, Guitar Center.On 1 August 2005, Gibson Custom in conjunction with Eric Clapton and the Guitar Center, released a worldwide limited edition of 250 replica guitars. The “Eric Clapton Crossroads ES-335” is a detailed reproduction of the Cherry Red ES-335 once owned by Eric. It was issued with a replica of the famous “CREAM” guitar case, a label signed by Eric Clapton inside the body and a certificate of authenticity. A portion of the proceeds from each sale went to Crossroads Centre at Antigua.This guitar, number 239/250, one of only 74 non US models was bought new in the U.K. in 2007 and has been stored since. It was serviced in June 2023 at Guitar Guitar and will be re- strung before despatch. It has never been played, the only marks on the guitar are those that Gibson placed on it whist replicating the original.
