Clapton has always liked to bend the strings, so I believe he uses 9s (Ernie
Ball Slinky).

and an A/B/Y box that allows him to choose the Twin, a Leslie speaker powerd
by a Marshall JMC 800, or both."

"The main amp at the moment is a custom shop copy of a '58 Twin Fender tweed
and onstage the Leslie and Marshall combo."

3. Wich strings does he use?
"I change the strings before every show with an Ernie Ball .009-.042 set.
The accoustics are strung with martin .012-.054's"

4. What guitars does he use at the moment?
"He uses the signature strats fitted with a Fender noiseless pickups,
onstage he uses the 'Over the Rainbow' strat and the '55 Gibson L-5. For
accoustics he uses a martin 000-4 ECB prototype for steeling parts, and
Herendino nylon-string - wich is his favorite guitar at the moment."

5. What kind of picks does he use?
"He uses custom-made Sterling Ball heavy picks"
