Eric Clapton's connection to the 2010 Gibson Les Paul Standard Eric Clapton Beano Tribute Model 1 is rooted in his quest for a guitar reminiscent of his original 1960 cherry sunburst Les Paul, famously used during his Bluesbreaker period. Clapton, in a 1989 Guitar World interview with Dan Forte, expressed his ongoing search for a guitar that matched the neck shape and fingerboard of his original Les Paul, which was stolen during Cream rehearsals. This tribute model reflects Clapton's enduring appreciation for the iconic instrument. The Bonhams auction listing further highlights Clapton's involvement with this special edition guitar.
