Six-String Stories

When I ordered this book I didn't realize that it's a copy of the book that Genesis Publications released in 2012 that you'd be lucky to find for $1000 now. That one is signed and limited to 2000 copies, but this has the same material and is a very high-quality publication. Tons of great pictures, and comments by Eric Clapton, himself. It's almost 400 pages and has great detail about all of his guitars, amps, and other gear. More than once he comments about how he misses a certain guitar or piece of equipment, all of which was auctioned off for his Crossroads charity. I have the catalogs from those auctions and they pale in comparison to this book. What a nice surprise. If you're into Clapton and his guitars you will love this.

If your a Clapton fan/musician this is fun stuff. Great photo's and storries, I like the book a lot.

This is a great book. A history of Eric Clapton’s guitars that he has used over the years. If guitars are your thing, this book is for you. It’s great.

Fabulous pictures and stories. Only complaint...sometimes pictures were wrongly identified as in a picture of the dot neck 335 Eric played in Yardbirds picture which was not the Cream and beyond model.

Very detailed written. Very interesting to read especially for someone who plays the guitar. Great to add to your Eric Clapton collection(s).

This volume is a great synopsis of the development of guitars in general and Eric Clapton as a music icon.Totally absorbing.

An absolute MUST for any EC fan or blues/guitar fan for that matter! Merry Christmas to me! Thank you sweetheart!:)

Excellent book for musicians and guitar players! He’s very impressed with it! Thank you!!

Whether you are a EC fan or just a guitar/gear enthusiast.. This is a superb book by any standards... Concise.. Hugely comprehensive with hundreds of superb photos of the many many guitars, amps and FX . Clapton has used over his extensive career... Its not a cheap book but considering the quality and depth of information, its actually good value and a book that will you keep coming back to, for many years to come.

A Christmas present from my wife (on my advice!). Fantastic range of photos of EC and his many guitars (and quite a few amps) that went into the Crossroads sale. Includes the history of most of the guitars, plus personal comments from Clapton. Very pleased with it!

I have a number of Clapton books but they all deal with his problematic past.This book deals with the guitars and equipment sold at auction to support his rehabilitation centre.He explains the specification of all the guitars and any modifications, the history of each instrument, where and when it was played and his thoughts about the guitar, it's a very interesting read.

Clapton gives a bit more insight into the guitars and amps he had over the years, where and when he bought them, how they were used with the various bands he was in as well as his solo years, what each sold for and at the end of the book all the gigs he has done from 1962 up until 2011

Great photos and good nuggets of information. However, Most of the text is stolen from the guitar auction catalogues and no, real, new paragraphs from Eric himself. A little disappointed but fab coffee table book.
