Eric Clapton’s heavily modded and custom-finished ‘Fool’ Gibson SG has been sold for a cool $1.27 million, making it the most expensive of Slowhand’s guitars to have been sold at auction.
The 1964 Gibson SG, which features psychedelic art from the Dutch art collective with whom shares its name, The Fool, joins an elite group of $1 million-plus guitars, though is still some way short of the world record $6,010,000 that was paid for Kurt Cobain’s 1959 Martin D-18E, most famous for its appearance on Nirvana’s MTV Unplugged album.
