Default I dreamt about Clapton last night

We met on the street and he invited me to his apartment on the 11th floor. Up the elevator; walked in, and he opened up the case.

“ It’s my new 00045. Play it. Tell me what you think.”

I did and started to jabber.

“Eric, it’s beautiful. You know, Santa Cruz, Collings, and Bourgeois are all building this guitar too, but Martin really got it right.”

I remember looking at the top, sides, and back, all with the most wonderful inlay. The fretboard was brand new with unplayed Strings.

Thanks. Eric.

Have to agree. That's a dream.

I see this as a subliminal message derived from your subconscious state through a dream, and delivered to your acute, immediate conscious sensory awareness system to process.

I was you, I’d Immediately motor on over to my nearest Martin dealer and place my order before reality sets in. That is, unless it’s already too late.

Or maybe, Give EC a call. Maybe it wasn’t a dream.

Did this take place in the daytime? Or was it.... After Midnight?

Like most who’s lived a life in the spotlight, he’s been probably regularly annoyed with invasions on his private life, but on a personal level, I think he’s a gear nut, loves to talk about it too, and if somehow he could have chats with each of us about guitars, he would probably thoroughly enjoy it, but being only one individual among us, being able to connect on a subliminal level, your account reads of some realism.

That would make him "old dough hand" would it not?

But at least Martin would give him the really "good" Brazilian on his guitar
