Questionable crossroads



These were announced today; a collaboration between Clapton & Guitar Center for custom shop exclusives of his Crossroads Fender (Blind Faith Telecaster) and Gibson (Firebird 1). Each will set you back at least USD11K. We sometimes question the necessity of manufacturing such beyond-reach models but for the manufacturers, it really help them sell another Tele & another Firebird. I will continue to steer clear of signature models.

You've often talked about your aversion to signature instruments. I want to just raise a single point to the contrary: Ibanez's Gary Willis fretless basses. Nothing quite like them anything else.

That's surely aplus for those who like that bass. Wait a minute... I do own a signature model, it's called the Gibson Les Paul.
