British
musician Eric Clapton will sell more than 70 guitars from his personal
collection in an auction in New York in March, with the proceeds going
to his drug and alcohol rehabilitation center in Antigua.
Bonhams
auctioneers will conduct the March 9, 2011 sale, which also includes
instruments donated by Jeff Beck, J.J. Cale and Joe Bonamassa.
Featured
in the auction are instruments and amps by Fender, Gibson, Marshall,
Martin and Music Man, among others. Estimates for the amps and guitars
range from $300-30,000, Bonhams said.
Highlights include one of
Clapton's main stage guitars from 2005, one of a pair he used during the
Cream Reunion Shows in London and New York -- a custom built black
Fender "Eric Clapton Signature" Stratocaster estimated at $20-30,000.
Also
on offer is a pair of Marshall vintage basket weave speaker cabinets,
from around 1970, used during the 1970s when Clapton appeared with Derek
And The Dominos. The pair is expected to fetch $8-10,000.
The
auction is being held in association with Wallace & Hodgson, who
worked on the two previous Clapton/ Crossroads guitar auctions in 1999
and 2004.
