Birthday present.

[Simon Barden]

My birthday today. One of my small presents from a friend was a real Eric Clapton-owned pick. Her parents used to run the dry cleaners in Cranleigh, Surrey, UK that was used by Eric (and Phil Collins and Mike Rutherford and Kenny Jones amongst others) and he was always leaving plectrums in his jacket pockets. Most got given back but a few were retained for posterity. This is one of the better ones (a lot were standard Gibson picks). Probably collected in the 80s.



Gives me an excuse to get an Eric Clapton Strat to go with it.

It's more a daphne blue, and I do have a daphne blue Strat with a Clapton boost circuit in to go with it (once I put it back together)!

Happy Birthday, Simon. Give us the full specs on the pick when you get time… and by full specs, I guess thickness would probably cover everything 🤔
