When Eric Clapton Tried To Buy Andy Summers’ Guitar

YouTube, @Andy Lukošius.

It’s no secret that Eric Clapton has built up a massive guitar collection – sometimes by buying them from his fellow rock stars.

Andy Summers of The Police says Clapton once ‘begged’ him to sell his 1959 Les Paul Sunburst.

It turns out Clapton had recently had a similar guitar stolen, while Summers had moved on to a Fender Telecaster instead of a Les Paul.

Summers finally agreed to sell it: “I charged him 200 pounds for it.  It’s worth about two million now.  Who knew?”
