The Auction comprises 138 lots, the majority of which are from Eric Clapton’s private collection; apart from a handful of pieces which were donated by others directly to the sale. There are approx. 80 guitars and 48 amps in this sale. Some of the amps date back to the 1970s – they are genuine relics of Clapton’s musical history.
