Casino4Life Posted September 11, 2012 Share Posted September 11, 2012 I was doing some research on Clapton's Fool SG and noticed that it has a trapeze style rail piece on it, or was it remnants of the Maestro Vibrola? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Casino4Life Posted September 11, 2012 Author Share Posted September 11, 2012 Clapton sounded so good playing Gibsons, he should go back to them Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WRS Posted September 11, 2012 Share Posted September 11, 2012 'suote name='Casino4Life' timestamp='1347386860' post='1253697'] Clapton sounded so good playing Gibsons, he should go back to them I agree.His "TONE"was unbeatable with the Gibsons he played.I read he hates whammy bars thats why his signature strat comes with it blocked.Also his strat has a mid-boost push pull to fatten the thin sound of his strat.I owned a 64 strat(original,and the differance between that and my SG standard are miles apart.My SG Standard is the best playing,best tone-wise guitar I've ever owned and I've owned Les Pauls,SG with P-90's(old from 60's)RIC'S,Vox,Electra MPC Les Paul Black Beauty and numerious other guitars,I would't trade my SG standard for any of them(Although I wish I'd kept the Electra MPC).

Casino4Life Posted September 11, 2012 Author Share Posted September 11, 2012 Agreed, that "Woman" tone was untouchable. It didn't sound the same on a Fender when they played the Cream reunion Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
crowdaddy Posted September 20, 2012 Share Posted September 20, 2012 I was following, and his gibson's were better sounding to me also. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Casino4Life Posted September 20, 2012 Author Share Posted September 20, 2012 Yea I saw a vid from last year of him Playing a re issue of his Beano Les Pail, his tone was much better Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dallastx Posted September 21, 2012 Share Posted September 21, 2012 Clapton to this day never was a tone god. He had a good vibe but never was able to dial it in like, SRV, Page, Johnson, May.. I could go on and on. His style is priceless, but his tone isn't or wasn't the greatest. D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Casino4Life Posted September 21, 2012 Author Share Posted September 21, 2012 He needs to ditch the Strats and go back to Les Pails and SGs Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
John Rutherford Posted September 22, 2012 Share Posted September 22, 2012 He played other gibbos during his Cream time, LP's, 335's and Firebirds I think . He and Bruce rehearsed with a their classic guitar line-up of EB3 and SG Standard for their 2005 Albert Hall gigs but didn't like the sound, pity, as the resultant gig's sound is somewhat weedy and un-LOUD !!!.

Nightspore68 Posted September 26, 2012 Share Posted September 26, 2012 I read recently that he still has that guitar, but one of his friends thought he'd do EC a favor and HD it refinished! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nightspore68 Posted September 26, 2012 Share Posted September 26, 2012 I think his Gibson tone was awesome :) Great video! I hadn't seen that before. That's the very guitar that inspired me to attempt playing guitar... 20 years later. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
