Rock Provenance?

Since we cannot confirm this story through any internet research or have any pics.. take this how you may ..  We are not upcharging for the possibility this may be true.

Supposedly this guitar was owned by Eric Clapton and stolen by a Cream/Blood, Sweat, & Tears roadie in March 1968 in San Franciso at a Cream / BS&T show for a bag of blow. It ended up in Portland Or in the late 70’s and has been here ever since stored under a bed.
