Gibson Custom Shop 1960 Eric Clapton Beano Les Paul Standard VOS Overview
Sandwiched between The Yardbirds and Cream, 1967's John Mayall & The Bluesbreakers with Eric Clapton was a showcase for the brilliant 21 year old guitarist turned deity. For this album Clapton abandoned his Fender Telecaster & VOXAC30TM for a 1960 Les Paul Standard & Marshall to become a guitar god.
This version is the 'Vintage Original Spec', or 'VOS' version. The instruments are gently aged to give the patina of an older guitar. Don't delay, we are only getting two of these!
