Q: Hello Jim , which guitar is the better for Clapton / Creem songs , seems you have a few?
A: The Gibson ES-335. Eric used it a lot live in Cream's later years after progressing from his Gibson SG. Early Cream, from the Fresh Cream album was all played on his SG, but on the Disraeli Gears album he used the SG as well as his Firebird and the 335. The Wheels of Fire album was mainly the 335. His definitive live sound exemplified on the song Crossroads was the ES-335 into a Marshall stack on tilt! Once he went solo he used a Fender Stratocaster but to my ears he's yet to play a decent note on a Strat. I don't like the guitar tone on ANY of his albums on which he used the Fender. Possible exception being the E.C. Was Here live album. His golden age was definitely with Cream.
