Eric Clapton remarked that he loves this model of guitar. He bought this instrument in Atlanta and is featured playing it on the promotional video of Motherless Child 1994.
This guitar was used by Clapton on the album From The Cradle and like its companion, the same model with different fingerboard inlays, [sold in Crossroads Auction at Christie's New York in June, 1999] for the opening song of the subsequent 1994/5 Nothing But The Blues Tour called Motherless Child. In the TV special From The Cradle which showed the Nothing But The Blues Tour rehearsal at Manhattan Center Studios, 28th September, 1994, this guitar was seen being used by Clapton to rehearse Motherless Child, but it suffers a broken string a little way into the song and gets replaced by its companion.

Clapton played the song Motherless Child on this guitar tuned to Open G with a capo on the fourth fret. The guitar shows significant playing wear on the pickguard. Clapton's former guitar technician previously commented that it had been necessary to get Eric to use a lighter pick on this song as he strums his 12 string guitar so hard that he would otherwise shred the strings.

First launched at the NAAM show in 1973, the miniature battery-operated Pignose amplifier was used on many classic rock recordings of the 1970s. Clapton said that he had recorded all the guitar parts of his 1974 song Motherless Children using a Pignose amp, which may well have been this particular amp. Other notable examples of recordings with a Pignose include Joe Walsh's Rocky Mountain Way.
