A copy of a statement accompanying this lot confirms that the guitar was one of just eleven various custom guitars made in 1976/77 by John Fadden and Lynn Ellsworth. It was bought by the vendor in March 1980, after being donated by Eric Clapton to Capital Radio's 'Help A London Child' charity.

Provenance:
In 1992, the vendor was involved with organising the lighting for Eric Clapton's New Year's Eve charity concert in Woking and took this opportunity to get the guitar autographed.
