Has Eric Clapton ever used a B.C Rich Guitar?

There is this thing called "endorsement". Guitar companies with too much money pay famous artists (up to $50,000 and more) to say that they play that particular brand of guitar. I don't doubt that Clapton played a BCRich... once.

As lead guitarist in a church band, I was heavily influenced by Jimmy Page of Led Zep in my younger years. Isn't it amazing how God can take something worldly and turn it around for His glory? I even play a sunburst Les Paul in church through a tube amp. To God be the glory.

hendrix was amazing, he changed music forever. he was one of the first people to use marshall amps because his old amps could not stand up to his tours. All of the four CDs he released in his life were amazing. He was also a pioneer of effects, he and cream came up with the wah wah pedal around the same time. The stratocaster was also put in to wide use because of him. \n\nhe was the greatest rock guitar player ever  \n\n"And so castles made of sand fall in the sea eventually"\n(Castles made of sand)

really, it shouldn't matter what name is on the guitar, its what it sounds like, and how it plays that counts. gibson les paul is a good all around guitar, while fender, paul reed smith, gretsch and Rickenbaker all make excellent blues/slow rock guitars. If its hard rock/metal he likes than B.C rich, Ibanez, Jackson or ESP make a mean sounding guitar thats sure to please

Tough one....all depends on the style of the tune. In my opion , Hendrix and Townsend were not great guitarist like the others mentioned here, but they WERE two of the greatest innovators of the electric guitar when it comes to sounds and tone. Clapton is soooooo smooth (Layla), Alvin Lee is one of the best blues player ever. Page and Eddie VanHalen, again, great innovators as well as fast and accurate. And as the other fella said about Dimebag, another great guitarist, I honestly have not listened to a lot of his tunes.\nLets not forget some of the others, mainly the women. Bonnie Riatt, one of the BEST slide players around, and I'm gonna go out on the limb, and say even better than EC on the bottleneck, and while we at it, Duane Allman ,again my opion, the BEST slide player. Lita Ford, Shannon Curffman, Allison Robinson, and we can go on forever.\nSo is there one greatest guitar player......no, they are all great. Here I will put in the name of one I like to listen to and I feel like he is probably the smoothest....Santana.\nIf you can make a good living being a guitar player and support your family well, then you are a good player. If you become a household name...then you are a great player. Another analogy if you will, a lot of people play football, but how many are in the NFL?. Thanks for letting me answer my first. Stay in tune.

In his 60s psychadelic phase he was a Rickenbacker player but from the 1970s onwards it was a Fender Precision Bass he was always seen with.\n\nSome photos below...

The classic publicity photos of Peter and Gordon do show them playing a Gibson J-160E guitar and a Gibson B-45-12.\n\nThere are also photos of them both playing Gibson J-160E's...

I think he uses a Schecter Omen 6 (at least in the videos for "So Cold" and "Sooner or Later"). It matches my own guitar (including paint of electric blue) but for recordings and live shows I'm not too sure. Wikipedia didn't have much info.

I absolutely LOVE blues.  Try getting into some BB King (The Thrill is Gone is his most popular), or John Lee Hooker.  Those two are the best to get a "feel" for the genre.  Then when you need more to fill that blues hunger, listen to some Muddy Waters and Howlin Wolf.  That should keep you busy for a while.\n\nA lot of rock artists made their start in blues.  Elvis, Eric Clapton (who is excellent by the way), Bob Seger, even Pink has a blues duet with Steven Tyler (from Aerosmith) named Misery.\n\nIt's an excellent genre. And the birthmusic of Rock.
