LucSulla Posted July 2, 2020 Share Posted July 2, 2020 OK, I know about early Clapton and Gibson, but for all intent and purposes, Clapton is one of "the" Strat guys. I think he's way more badass on a Gibson still though. 80s over processing aside: And later just into a Fender Tweed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A teenage friend had a poster of JH with a white, lefty (I think) SG Custom. I've also seen him with a 50's LP Custom (righty) with P90s. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LucSulla Posted July 2, 2020 Author Share Posted July 2, 2020 I actually like the way Clapton and Bonamassa sound a lot more when they switch it up, though if I remember correctly, didn't Joe start really getting known as a Strat player? Jimi played SGs from time to time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

crunchee Posted July 2, 2020 Share Posted July 2, 2020 Here's 'Jimmy James' (Jimi) playing a flipped Jazzmaster circa 1965, backing a Sam and Dave cover act. I wish those 'headliners' (who the hell is 'Buddy and Stacey'?) woulda gotten out of the way so we could see Jimi better: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Perhaps not as collectible as they were just 10 years later, but they damn sure were collectible. Ed just never really bought into treating guitars like fine china.
