You can definitely tell exactly how Tyler feels playing this instrument. The sheer weight of all that guitar stands for crashed down onto him and the only thing he could do was play. I didn't stop smiling the entire time he was playing, it's truly a wonderful thing watching a musician fill the room with thankfulness, honor, courage and absolute humbleness. This is how musicians show respect.

I love this comment but I hate the fact that it is true.
The guitar is only expensive given the person and history. Otherwise it's just the same as any other guitar. You could go get a $75 guitar from some pawn shop and fix any issues if any at all. Then go about crafting YOUR voicing and phrasing and maybe get somewhere. By making a name in one way or another suddenly that $75 guitar is now worth some major bank. I mean, if you were never told that it's Clapton's guitar you'd think it's simply just another Strat and wouldn't really think twice about anything.

Headstock of the guitar on Clapton movie clip is from the 70's (big Headstock). This one is the "normal" Fender Strat Headstock...
Hmmm. I'm inclined to agree. Compare headstock details on 5:35 (modern headstock, some logo in head of headstock) and at around 8:44 in the vid. We do not seem to be looking at the same guitar and that's what it's all about - is it not?
Well, nobody placed a bid on this guitar anyway. Something odd going on here maybe?
The guitar that Tyler played is a hardtail Strat. It has a 1954 button string tree. In the video, Eric Clapton's guitar has a tremolo (not hardtail): see 7:54 minutes into the video. The video showed a CBS logo with a large headstock.

Wow man I can't believe how you were handling it with one hand so nonchalantly. I would have had two hands on that thing at all times
Now, that's funny. If not for your comment, I never would have remembered this little story, about a similar situation. I was in a jewelry store somewhere, maybe back in Ohio, at least 40 years ago. The store wasn't a typical jewelry store. There were items of all kinds displayed in cases, on tables, stands, and shelves, but where only the employees could actually touch them. There was one particular vase on a shelf, that had what appeared to be old world Chinese decorations painted on it. It was marked 'only' $20,000 or so, if I remember correctly. Nothing like your Strat there. The vase was on the wall, behind a counter that totally prevented me from getting anywhere near it. Still, when I saw the price, I carefully and deliberately backed away from the counter, all the way to the wall behind me. I couldn't get any farther away. I thought, if that thing somehow mysteriously falls off the shelf and breaks, I don't want to be anywhere near it when it does. I couldn't get out of there fast enough. You see, I remember the time, back in the 60s, when my step parent had a brand spanking new Polaroid camera. As I walked by, I guess maybe my coat brushed against it, because it fell to the floor. And, I never felt a thing. I don't remember if it broke, or not. But, the step guy looked over at me when he heard the sound, as I said, "It wasn't me! I swear I didn't do it!" He said, "Well, you're the only one anywhere near it. It must have been you". You know the saying about your whole life flashing through your mind, right before you die? That was me. I was maybe 12 or 13 years old. Ahhh--the good old days. 😂
@@EdwardKrzynowek-fx5to I bought this new camera thing in the eighties, built in flash. I took a few photos. It slipped out of my pocket, into the toilet bowl and never worked again.
Behind such price is all the time only history of that guitar. Nothing else... piece of... history! That's it!
Piece of wood 😁 But it has all what we would consider an upgrade nowadays
“Eric was the last one to play those strings” imagine if he broke one tuning it back up Every few weeks I get a notification of another person saying “oh well loads of people will have touched them since then it doesn’t matter” no shit other people will have touched them but a collector willing to pay this much will want it to have original strings in tact on it, there’s no way they’re playing it. It’s just gunna be a display piece and it loses a lot of cool factor if you have brand new strings on it
That's what I was thinking! :)
That would be my luck....
yea and they were old so it could have happened easily
Yes just imagine, then replace it with a new one, would sound just the same. Its just another lump of wood with some electronics, it will never sell for that amount.

Oh, man! If I'd had the insight to appreciate all of the instruments I owned over the past five decades. I bought and sold them in need. They were bought in love and sold in desperation. I'm sure they would be worth close to $100,000 today. Hindsight is 20/20. Some were Fenders, but most were Gibsons. Les Pauls, SGs, Juniors, Melody Makers, Strats and Telecasters.
@77news97, “bought out of love and sold out of desperation”. That pretty well sums it up for me through the ‘70’s and ‘80’s.

One observation I have is the Video of Clapton playing towards the end shows him to be playing a different Stratocaster than is depicted here OR if it is the same it has a different neck/headstock.

I imagine any number of the most famous guitar players on the planet would have loved to have the opportunity to play this guitar. You're a lucky man!
it sounds beautiful
"Who was the last person to play this guitar?" "It used to be Clapton, but now it's a random dude"
love this!
Who would buy a guitar and not give a strum?
Seriously. Why the fuck would you corrupt that. Anyone paying a mil for Clapton's guitar deserves it in the condition it was left in by Clapton, him being the last to play it. Not this fucking guy.
@@alteredquellist9742 BS.
@@alteredquellist9742 Yup, 'cause they probably don't test the guitars at all before the auction/before they ship them out to whoever bought them. Please get over yourself, man.
I like to think while we're all "hmming and hawwwing" over this million dollar Strat, that Eric Clapton is just sitting somewhere in his house, watching a fishing channel, completely oblivious to this
Never been a big Clapton fan Give ya a grand for it.
I'm still floored by Clapton's comment on '60 Minutes' that fishing was the only thing he felt he could do with some level of competence.
you bet !
@@everettsykes1774 me either. he's good and his songs are good but i never get really excited over his music.
@@everettsykes1774 I love Eric Clapton and this comment is fucking gold 🤣. “Never been a big Clapton fan. Give ya a grand for it.”
now i want a stratocaster. damn.
Someone will buy this and never play it. Good to see that they want it played before auction. You did a great job!
"Eric was the last person who played those strings" Wow
Yes I was
I doubt it
Not buying that for a second. Makes no sense.
If it exchanged owners over the years, someone else has played it. Guaranteed
@@nimrodsson4029 or the previous owners knew how much of a fricken collectors piece this was and didn’t play it. I mean shit. I wouldn’t.
It sounds like a good ol Strat. Its never the guitar. Its the player. I have over 20 Custom Shop Fender and Gibsons and they sound like crap because I can't play for shit.
The why the fuck do you have them
@@lukaskuipers7791 he’s probably a collector
Usually collectors can't play them just think.Leo Fender did not play a guitar at all .That's something to think about
Im also a crap player but love my collection
@@lukaskuipers7791 Same reason guys have cars that can do 200mph when the speed limit is 70.
Bro I would be crying as I played that that's an insane opportunity just wow
Sunshine of Your Love was my first EC song i ever learned on guitar at 10
