 | Interview with Dick Boak of Martin Guitar
Whom did you approach after the 000-42EC?
DB: You can count on two hands the other artists who might generate the same level of interest as the Clapton guitar. Among those
would have to be Paul McCartney, Bob Dylan, Neil Young, and Paul Simon. I went for Simon. And it wasn´t easy to set up. After some
trials, I was able to reason my way into his circle of friends and finally met with him.
It might have been helpful for me to have known that Paul has a wicked sense of humor - very wry.
I´ll make this shorter than the full story in my book, Martin Guitar Masterpieces, but basically, I´m sitting waiting for him with a
000-42 to show him an example of what we could build. He cracks open the door and peers in and says, "I don´t think so!" and slams
the door. There I am flabbergasted and really deflated, feeling dejected. Moments later, the door opens again and he´s got this
smile on his face and says, "Just kidding."
