This is What a $1,500,000 Guitar Sounds Like

check another off the ol' bucket list

WEEN!

The secret is an active pickup.

I’m just glad the guitar got to be played one more time chances are it’ll probably end up in somebody’s collection and never played again. Also love the fact that it’s a hard tail.

Is it a good cheap beginner guitar ?

Just to let you know. This is not Eric's "Brownie". There are videos that show you the back of Eric's has a spring guard which this guitar does not have. Also, there is also a screw in the pick guard at the top of the neck pickup that I assumed was added by Eric that is not on this guitar....NICE TRY

Eric Clapton is SO overrated.

ha! this very ordinary strat, once played by an ageing racist has-been, drew precisely zero bids, it really isn't a 1.5million guitar

It's $1,498,000 for Clapton and $2000 is the real value :)

Is this the Eric Clapton guitar that didn't get a single bid? What did you do to it??? Lol.

Was the headstock replaced? In the video of Eric Clapton playing his Strat his guitar had the fat 1970’s headstock. This guitar’s headstock is much thinner.

IT SOUNDS EXACLY LIKE MINE....BY THE WAY , IT'S FOR SALE ..500 .00$

May have not been worth a million dollarsbut worth more if you left it at Clapton being the last one to play it.

Who is Tyler? famous musician?famous RUvid r? No disrespect-just don’t know

you can just see hell hear the history in this thing just wow

Who is the guy that is playing it ??

What's the first song. Mind blank is driving me crazy.

It's Eric's DNA playing the guitar

Whats the song at 3:52, forgot the name

It's a guitar! Owned by a very influential guitarist. It didn't get any bids because it's not worth a million dollars. I'm sure Eric, whom I've met, would much rather you pay a couple of thousand for it and send them rest of the money to feed the hungry!

Guitar is worth 5.000 usd, story is 1.495.000 usd 😉

SHOCKER...TYLER WENT TO THE AUCTION...AND BOUGHT THE GUITAR ...HAHA !!!

WHAT A HONOR & PRIVALEGE !!!

Dude you should play in a band... Like every good guitar player did back in the days. Not just doing an effing youtube account get your ground up.

Wow

All said I can still get similar tone from my old beat up Fender squire.😃

I just kept thinking - "What if he breaks a string?"

The guitar that Clapton is playing in the movie, has a 70’ headstock, it is not the same guitar

sounds like my squire

First Rif . . .Stratway to Valhalla

Sounds like a $500 guitar with a decent amp

You know you'd rather be playing Deaner's '61....

It is shocking what some people will pay for a name. My 1969 Gibson Les Paul Standard gold top was appraised at $14,136.84 usd. If Eric Clapton touched it I'd be a millionaire.

I'd so play smoke on the water on it

can someone tell me what that first lick he place is called. the first lick he played with the pick

Different mástil this guitar if you compere with the video guitar Clapton played

I'm not even a musician, but I know top shelf exceptionalism when I see it. I do love me some exceptionalism.

WEEN

I'm not a fan of clapton....ever since his racist remarks at the Odeon in Birmingham in the 70's....nope, i don't care if his spit is worth a million...he could drown in it for all I care.

shes wonderful,thanks.

It’s just a guitar. We aren’t Eric Clapton. Playing any guitar is priceless.

Brownie??? Is this the Layla guitar??

Rick: I'll give you $1000 for it. I gotta make some money man....I'm taking all the risks here....

Hell yeah, Ween shirt

How come the video at 7:59 of Clapton playing this guitar show it with the larger 70s style headstock, yet when you're playing it in the studio it's got the proper 50s neck?

The guitar at auction opened for 1 million. Got ZERO bids.

That guitar and amp sounds the balls. Killer.

1.5 mill ?? Fucking crazy. Clapton ?? He’s ok player. Regardless his stile. Ain’t worth more than a average guitar folks .. 1200 bx. ?? American strat. There street guitarist that blows Clapton far and away .:. In my mind he’s an average guitarist. .. oh well. Good luck to the buyer .. 1.5 mill ?? Ha.

Awesome Ween shirt

Stupid me was going to mock this but boy it sounded fantastic. Mind you I'm just a lowly keyboard player.

Not only playing Clapton's guitar with Van Halen's pick, you are doing so wearing a Ween shirt. That is fucking awesome!

What song is at 3:53

MY guitar is actually a Stratocaster as well

Wait, what's special about this guitar? Did it cure cancer? Did it get me a raise from my job? Did it prevent my ex girlfriend from lying to me? Did it help pay my rent? Nope,nope,nope and (you guessed it, nope)......oh, oh Eric Clapton played and this guy played it, for it's age, sound and rarity. 30k max. That's if I had 30k I just absolutely couldn't use for anything else. Otherwise take Clapton away and it's an 8k.

Ween shirt FTW

It literally gave me chills watching you open that case. I'd kill everyone of my friends to be able to play that. It would also be the only time ever having no friends came in handy.

Dude ...... absolutely incredible opportunity!!!!! 😱🤯😍 I’m so freakin jealous I’d be star struck just by the smell inside the case

That's a dumb old 600 dollar guitar.

Different neck than in video clip?

You lost me at the airport.

In my opinion... paying anywhere near this much for a guitar is freaking stupid. That thing had better massage my balls.

patiently waited for layla. didn’t get it.

I don't know much about these musicians but when you start playing, my eyes was in tears.

And looks like nobody bought the guitar....

when I saw the panicked look on your face in the thumbnail I thought you broke a string! lol

Cool video. Noticed that on the video at the end, the strat that Clapton is playing has a CBS headstock. Did he change the neck, or is that a different guitar altogether?

The guitar in the Clapton clip shown has a big headstock and a bullit truss rod most likely a 3 bolt neck. Seems kinda odd

GC employee pops up behind him....."um...Sir...Can I help you?"

I want that guitar !!!!!

Ween boxers

Eddie's pick?..no eruption on the Clapton strat?..I wouldn't have been able to help myself and rip out some future guitar gods riffs on the original guitar gods riff making machine..all the planets would have aligned in that moment..great video!!

h

so... why does the guitar in the history shots near the end of the video have a different headstock/neck??

Does anybody know the song he was playing at 6:38?

3:48 is the intro to paralyzer by finger eleven

Neck must’ve been changed at some point

okay but your key holder is everything

Imagine buying Eddie Van Halens guitar pick then Instantly losing it to the pick void

If you bought it, your parents probably will be horrified and pass out ,I’m not a joke ,lol.

Not a fan of Eric or his music. Just never did much for me.

It's a beautiful guitar and has no business being sold at that price.

I CAN GUARANTEE that if you put a Chines copy of that guitar into the hands of Taylor or any other accomplished guitarist, that Chinese copy will sound EXACTLY the same, so don't fall for the HPYE of some GODDAMN auction house looking to screw you out of your money.

The Clap.....

The video shows Clapton playing an early 70's Strat. WTF

So it sounds good but when he is opening up the case it so disappointing to see a bland strat in there.

I would be so nervous about tuning, or playing that thing lol

What would happen if you played a Hendrix lick with Eddie's pick on Eric's guitar?

What’s the song at 6:37

Guess we can blame you for the guitar not selling ;P

That guitar needs the forbidden rift

And you used a clip on tuner on 60 year old plus guitar!!!!!! Come one!!

My Harley Benton Guitar looks the same and sounds the same. So why spent more than 77 Euros (which is what I did?). Up to you. :-)

1.5M dollar guitars? Ok cool. But can we all just stop and appreciate that Ween shirt!

i like to recommend you to see fingerstyle Alip Ba Ta

The guitar is not the same one as shown in the Clapton-video. In the video it has a 70's big headstock ! ? ...

New to the channel. Subscribed simply because of the Ween shirt 30 seconds into the video

Nice shirt mang

That key chain holder 0:37 is dope asf where did you get it

Thanks for posting and sharing. Nice to see.

More than the guitar the amplifier must be in a million too. Even if you have the most expensive guitar but you have an ugly amp it won't work. But if you have an excellent guitar amp a cheap guitar will sound a million.
