Provenance:

This guitar was the fourth of four prototypes built for Eric Clapton. Prototype No.3 (with a scratchplate) was sold as Lot 15, The Eric Clapton Sale Of Guitars And Amps In Aid Of The Crossroads Centre, Bonhams New York, 9th March 2011.

Model 000-ECHF Bellazza Bianca ('White Beauty') was designed in collaboration with Eric Clapton and the Japanese fashion designer and music producer, Hiroshi Fujiwara, and was introduced as a limited edition guitar in 2005, following the production of the Bellazza Nera in 2004.

Clapton can be seen playing the song?Love In Vain?on a similar, non-scratchplate Bellezza Bianca at the Hotel Casa Del Mar in Santa Monica on 14th August 2004. The location was chosen to evoke blues legend Robert Johnson's first recordings made in a makeshift studio at a hotel room in San Antonio in 1936. These sessions were released on the video?Sessions For Robert J.?in 2004. The designs of the CD/DVD discs echoed the black and white soundhole rosette of the Bellezza models.
