The Clapton Bluesbreaker tone is quite possibly the ‘voice’ that started the whole Les Paul P.A.F. craze in the first place... and also, since the guitar housing those immortal pickups has virtually been MIA since those seminal 1966 recordings, it is also one of the most difficult voicings to nail down. However, the magic elves winding pickups for Wizz believe they have uncovered that secret buried which has been for decades.
For those out of the loop, Clapton apparently bought his legendary 1960 Gibson Les Paul Standard at the end of May 1965, used it on the even more legendary "John Mayall and the Bluesbreakers' Blues Breakers with Eric Clapton" album recorded in July 1966, and found it stolen just a few months later while he was rehearsing with Cream... the guitar has never been recovered and Clapton has admitted that he probably wouldn't recognize it even if it were. Therefore, all we really have to go on are a few live recordings and the (originally engineered and remastered) album itself.
