check another off the ol' bucket list

Love the Ween T-Shirt!

*Minor* correction: This is what a 1.5 Million guitar sounds like through MNdown. YMMV.

Has Clapton packed it in?

Yeah, that phone call happened...lol...my unicorn said it was real......then this guy opens the case of a supposedly $1.5M guitar ON HIS LAP...yeah, nothing bad can happen THAT WAY... smh...I guess setting it on the floor would have revealed too much common sense. EGO, thy name is this guy...

Welp this didn’t age well...

I be thinkin Eric would want his Strat back.

He looks even more awkward playing guitar that Trogly. Awful,

1,500,000 cool points for the Ween shirt.

What an honor!

That ween gear though....🍻

Interesting. If I purchase a used guitar for $50 after playing it at a Guitar store and later discover it's valued at say, $4 million dollars. Does it then sound different?

Yeah, Eric's finger dirt still on it.

After this video the guitar has dropped in price to 700k

What amplifier did you use?

cant be the real one , i bought the real one in a pawn shop for 900 bucks and then found the other real one for 700 bucks a month later....?

I would think Joe Bonamassa will own that guitar...

Fake..im sad Tyler would go down to that level.

The guitar shown in the video of Clapton playing is clearly NOT the same guitar! The neck has a large CBS style head stock with a bullet truss rod. I can't speak to the body of the guitar but the neck isn't the same one as that on the guitar that is being auctioned off. Just sayin'.

Different head stock in video.......

Seems like that "Wuhan" cymbal in the background is full of corona.

They have a guy step off the plane that needs a tuner to tuner it

Imagine using a $500 guitar becoming famous and then selling it for millions.

Funny. I found a genuine Made in Indonesia Strat in a dumpster. Really bad shape. Took it to a musician friend of mine, he put new strings on it and use a hot glue gun to fix a few issues. It's now among his favorites, says it just has a certain sound to it.

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 MNdown 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
