Limited Edition Signed Book: Hand-Signed by Eric Clapton (Six-String Stories)
This entry showcases an authentic, primary-source piece of blues rock, electric guitar, and music history: an original 2012 Genesis Publications deluxe limited edition copy of Six-String Stories: The Crossroads Guitars, hand-signed on an interior limitation page by legendary guitarist, singer, and songwriter Eric Clapton.
Widely regarded as one of the most influential and accomplished guitarists of all time, Eric Clapton is the only three-time inductee into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame—as a solo artist, member of The Yardbirds, and member of Cream. Known worldwide as "Slowhand," Clapton's monumental career spans seminal groups including John Mayall & the Bluesbreakers, Blind Faith, and Derek and the Dominos, generating immortal classics such as "Layla", "Sunshine of Your Love", "Crossroads", and "Tears in Heaven".
Published in a strictly limited edition by premier fine-art press Genesis Publications, Six-String Stories presents Clapton's definitive visual documentation of nearly 300 of his most iconic instruments. Created to benefit the Crossroads Centre in Antigua, the retrospective offers detailed studio photographs, historical performance notes, and personal anecdotes detailing legendary instruments like "Blackie," "Brownie," his Cherry Red Gibson ES-335, and his vintage Martin acoustics.
The volume is quarter-bound in vibrant red leather over black cloth boards featuring silver and gold line-art illustrations of his famous guitar silhouettes, paired with gold-gilded page edges. The book comes housed inside a custom black cloth slipcase with gold stencil title lettering ("SIX-STRING STORIES / ERIC CLAPTON / THE CROSSROADS GUITAR") and includes its original black cloth drawstring protective bag printed with yellow title typography.
Hand-signed in ink on a mounted limitation bookplate by Eric Clapton and numbered
