Although Clapton also used an SG and a Firebird with Cream, it was his cherry ES-335 that became known as ‘the Cream guitar’, appearing on Badge and at the band’s Albert Hall farewell concert. Eric used it in his next band, Blind Faith, and on solo tracks like Hard Times. You can dial in Clapton’s ‘woman tone’ by turning your neck humbucker tone to 0, and blend in the bridge pickup to taste. Other notable ES-335 players include Alvin Lee, Eric Johnson and Larry Carlton.
