Young Eric Clapton demonstrated the Wah-Wah pedal on his Gibson SG guitar "The Fool" in this 1968 interview.
One of the most iconic instruments in rock history is Eric Clapton's classic "Psychedelic" SG or "Fool Guitar," which started life as a standard Gibson SG model.

In 2008 an article on The Fool guitar by Steven Rosen was featured in the Lifestyle section of the Gibson website and the journalist gave a very detailed account of the SG’s early life:
"Clapton’s Les Paul Standard had been stolen and replaced with this Gibson. Initially, everyone referred to it as a Les Paul SG, but they were wrong. Les Paul did not like the new SG design and asked that his name be taken off the model. By 1963, the guitars were known simply as SG Standards. There were no Les Paul SGs in 1964."
The 1960's psychedelic paint job was done by The Fool, a Dutch design team and sometimes band (recording one album); the noted members/ artists of The Fool were Simon Posthuma and Marijke Koger.
The pair had designed clothes and album covers for a number of artists in the 60s (including Procul Harum and The Move) but are primarily known for, and made their name with, the work they did for the Beatles. #ericclapton #rockmusic #rock #blues #gibsonsg #gibsonguitars #electricguitar #rocknroll
