Eric Clapton's Fender Stratocaster, Crash-3: Interview with Artist John "CRASH" Matos
Eric Patrick Clapton. Born 1945, Surrey, England.
John "CRASH" Matos. Born 1961, South Bronx, New York.
Clapton grows up on rock, blues and the electric guitar.
CRASH grows up on comics, graffiti and cans of spray paint.
Eric Clapton. World-famous musician.
CRASH. World-famous painter.
Is fame their common bond?
No. What brought the two together in 1996 was their respect for a shared language.
Artistic self-expression.
Whether it's Rodin's stone sculptures in a Paris museum, Clapton's bar-room blues in London, or CRASH's subway graffiti in New York City, the presence of artistic self-expression unites vastly different styles of communication under one simple term.
Art.
An interview with the artist whose work appears on the body of Crash-3, and the other Clapton "graffiti" Stratocasters: CRASH.

Crossroads Guitar Auction
Eric Clapton and Friends for the Crossroads Centre
June 24, 2004
"These guitars are the A-Team …
What I am keeping back is just what I need to work with.
I am selling the cream of my collection."
Eric Clapton, February 2004
On June 24, 1999, Christie's New York organized "A Selection of Eric Clapton's Guitars ~ In Aid of the Crossroads Centre", a sale that became legendary overnight. Exactly five years later, on June 24, 2004, Christie's will present the sequel when a group of 56 guitars, described by Eric Clapton as "the cream of my collection," as well as instruments donated by musician friends such as Pete Townshend, will be offered. Featuring iconic instruments such as 'Blackie' and the cherry-red 1964 Gibson ES-335, "Crossroads Guitar Auction ~ Eric Clapton and Friends for the Crossroads Centre", promises to be a worthy successor to the seminal 1999 sale. The proceeds of the sale will benefit the Crossroads Centre in Antigua.
