Cream Reunion
John, me too!! That thing is almost a lawsuit. I think like Clapton, Warwick & Fender are going to be the choices for these guys now and in the future.
Ken, he sold all he electrics he had during his Cream years, including the 335 which went for some astounding $850,000 or so. If he buys new ones I'd love it. Anything but the Strat. Crean songs need a real gritty sound, not a Beach Boys vibe!

Isn't there a law somewhere that states "Ye shall not play Cream with a Fender"?
It would truely be a crime if EC doesn't use a Gibson of some sort , LP, SG, ES through a cookin' Marshall!
Waitin' for the DVD.

I had a pretty good idea The Guitar Center was going to make a reissue of Eric Clapton's 335 from the Cream era. They are selling three through Music Ground (UK).
They sent an email to me today that reads:

Still would like to catch up with you, Graham, if possible. All I can tell you is that the ebay sellers in the US that were not getting the funds they hoped started selling them for reasonable prices ($500ish?) or so per ticket. From what I've heard, there is virtually nothing available in ther UK.
