Check out [This eBay Listing](http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=927478709) - it certainly appears on the up and up. Bidding has been moving - the auction ends a few days from now, but in the couple of times I have reviewed the page, the price has gone from $10,000 to $15,000.

My ES 335 looks pretty similar, but is not a 1959 and certainly wasn’t Clapton’s personal guitar…
