    A lot of the guys over at the Les Paul forum trashed his tone with the Les Paul.
    I have always said that Eric's Signature guitar was an attempt at making the Strat sound more "Humbucky" The mid boost circuit was all about that.
    I think he like the feel of the Strat but not the tone. Maybe I am wrong but I always thought his tone with that circuit, sounded a lot like a humbucker.
    With the new Chambered series maybe he will be playing more Gibbies.
    I like him using the 335, don't like his Lp tone on those cuts either.
    The Blues is alright!

    While I've enjoyed Clapton's playing on many different songs throughout his career, the only tone of his I ever really liked was his Bluesbreakers' tone.
