See footnote to lot 13. The cream finish on this guitar is sometimes referred to as Olympic White.

This guitar or its companion in lot 13 can be seen in the Nothin' But Blues, the documentary film of Clapton's Filmore West concert on the club tour leg of the From The Cradle tour in 1994, directed by Martin Scorsese and broadcast on US television in 1995.

The other (photo a) shows Clapton relaxing during a rehearsal at Bray Studios, for the 1994 Royal Albert Hall Concerts. The cream Strat seen in these shots is thought to be either the guitar in this lot or its companion in lot 13.
