The guitar was later gifted to singer-songwriter Dave Edmunds while he was visiting Clapton at his home in Surrey in 1976, and is accompanied by a signed letter of provenance from Edmunds who states that Clapton was originally planning to gift him a Gibson J-200 but chose the Martin instead when the J-200 couldnt be located.

In photographs, Clapton can also be seen with the guitar while touring with his previous group Delaney & Bonnie and Friends (including George Harrison), performing the song Poor Elijah Tribute to Johnson live on BBC television, and between various gigs while on the road.
