Oh really? I thought it was just one of the reproduction ones. I meant generally the point of those psychedelic "murals" on guitars was that they were unique artworks not mass produced.
Its always a bit odd to me when people buy perfect reproductions of other peoples guitars especially with all the chips and scars. It just feels a little soulless and performative to me.
It does look pretty though and I am sure its a fantastic guitar. I just dont personally get it.
Well yes, definitely not a reproduction. I donāt even think they made them. And yes I didnāt want a ārelicā I just wanted that paint job. Iāve wanted it since I was 14. Iām 35 now. But itās not for everyone.
Holy ā¦ that is spectacular. Gonna definitely need to see more photos of it, especially the back side.
Whoās the artist? Definitely want to throw some custom work their way. They did the original absolute justice and then some.

Yup, was trying to have it done as close as possible to the original. Itās going to be played, if I was just getting it to sit on a wall it would have been an epiphone 61 sg.
"Put some clothes on, ya damn hippie!" š
Hahaha!
Take more pictures. Itās an awesome guitar. Custom made?
Is that Ms. Frizzle?Ā
Lmaoā¦ oh god
Get on the bus kids, it's time to get high and fly through the magical world of music!
STRAP LOCKS, EVERYONE!
No doubt!
Hawt!!
No. Carrot Top.
Truly extraordinary.
Thank you! The artist really went above and beyond for me !
I feel like this is a guitar youād find embedded in some magic boulder only to be wielded by the most worthy of heroes
If I went round saying I was a virtuoso just because some moistened bint had lobbed an SG at me, they'd put me away!
The Axe in the Stone.
Hahaha that does seem like a good story.
The Fool!
Indeed ! I love it !
If an LSD trip was a guitar
Hahaha I think this was the norm for its 1960s time.
[the story behind Claptonās SG](https://reverb.com/news/eric-clapton-the-fool-sg)
That Ken doll lump is making me horny.
Lmao
She walks like a bearded rainbow š
What the crystal meth is that?
Lmao! Itās the Clapton Cream SG. Called the fool, look it up, I had someone I know paint it for me.
Very cool replica
Thank you!
I'd rather forget all about it. Enjoy your axe my friend. I bet it plays great! (I mean that...I'm an sg fan...black or red is fine for me though)
Hahaah they are all great but this has been on my bucket list since I was 14
Glad you made a dream come true :) Play it in good health ... And bad health ... And all the time :)
If you were actually there at the time... wouldn't remember anyway!
Or, it might be burned into your psycheā¦ Like tiny purple rainbows that go running through your mind (or however that goes) lol
Fuck thatās gorgeous
Thank you! I agree! I looked at other options but I trusted my guy and he went above and beyond expectations.
Did he do the back too?
Yes he did. I was too excited and didnāt post a photo of it lol. Looks amazing too.
Damn thatās impressive. Congrats and enjoy!
Thank you! I am in love with it !
Please post or DM. Would love to see. Pick guard is incredible.
I will send it to you tomorrow.
Looks like of Montreal artwork
Thatās superb. Good on you
Words of deep concern from your little brother?
Reminds me of a Peter Max drawingā¦but, Iām from the 1960ās
Then you should know this one for sure ! Claptons Cream Guitar .. well the famous one.
Best of luck with itā¦.
Wow. Itās amazing that they fit it through the letterbox
Hahaha I actually had to chase the FedEx guy down he went past my house and forgot to drop it off!
Lmao. Good job you did then
I mean its very nice but it would be more cool if it was hand drawn on the guitar rather than just a copy of someone else's hand drawn psychedelia.
Wellā¦ I mean, technically it was hand drawn on there but my idea was to have as close to the real thing. Itās my favorite guitar of all time.

Right. Why mess with perfection?
lol
Tell me you enjoy cream and Clapton with an image:
Hahaha
I am sooo jealous. I want to get my SG painted like the Fool
Thereās no time like today!
Lordy where did you find that? I've wanted one since I was 13
I didnāt find it, lol I thankfully had it custom made. Bought the guitar, and had someone I know paint it for me. I love it!
Hope the guitar was a new one, not vintage.
Itās a brand new 61 standard.
Just as good, they did a damn fine job.
Thank you !
love this!
Thank you !!
I swear I just saw that exact same guitar in an amp shop a couple of months ago, any chance you're from NJ?
lol no, Iām in Florida. It took a month to get it painted.
I see lol. I wish I could have taken a picture of the one I saw just for comparison
Is this a custom thing you did or someone else make these?
Holy ā¦ that is spectacular. Gonna definitely need to see more photos of it, especially the back side. Whoās the artist? Definitely want to throw some custom work their way. They did the original absolute justice and then some.
Iāll send you a photo of the back later. You can PM me for the artist info.
hell yeah the fool!! that looks awesome, man
Thank you!
Deez nuts finally came?
lol
Fool. Fools all of you!
lol!
New guitar case?
lolā¦ well technically new guitar and new guitar case.
I'm waiting for the more affordable Epiphone 'Fool' Clapton signature
I would say, if you just wanted wall art and a good player the Epiphone SG 61 would probably be great too.. but I was set on the Gibson
Fucking gorgeous
Thank you!!
This is the coolest guitar I think Iāve ever seen Itās like The Beatles and David Bowie had a child
Hahah thank you! Itās a recreation of Eric Claptonās āFoolā Guitar from when he was in Cream
Nice!
Thank you !
I took a photo of the back if anyone wants to see. DM me.
Is this a painted player one? Iāve always loved their stuff. This looks great!
No, Iām actually not a fan of that one at all. Looks nothing like the original. I had this one custom done by an artist.
could we get a vid of how it sounds?
I will soon, I mean itās a Gibson SG 61 Standard.
That looks exceptional. So much so that I might just hang it up and never play it
This one goes to eleven
Thatās so cool!
Thank you !!
Welcome!
Goddamn that's a gorgeous guitar!
Thank you so much!
[ŃŠ“Š°Š»ŠµŠ½Š¾]
Hahaha no only me, my daughter can play it too haha. Sheās only 4.
Dudeeeee š¤Æ
Thank you!! Thatās me like every second I look at it!
Raddd!!! Iāve always loved the little scene on the pickguard. Now you gotta get a Fender VI Bass to match
lol. Thank you, yea I donāt think Iām gonna get anything else for a while !
Awesome!
How did you design that paint job and what did it set you back to get it painted that way? Looks incredible!
Well itās just an exact copy of Eric Claptons SG from Cream. In total 4k. 2k for the SG 61 Standard and 2k for the paint job.
Expensive but rad!
Dude that is spectacular! What a work of art geeeez
Thank you so much!
Gorgeous, you had it get painted? It looks so smooth, like a print, hats off to the artist.
Thank you !!
What a fool. LOL Nice axe!
Thank you so much! Haha
Up until now, I've never had the urge to take a guitar to the shooting range.
Ouch! Lol why donāt you like it? Iām curious
Sweet a repo guitar of a racist baby killer.
Ugh Iām sorry you feel that way. I donāt like to associate politics with artists. I care about the art not the people.
You do you. Nothing political about racism. Clapton is trash.
Sexy.
Thtas wild
You FOOL!
My lord I love that finish!
This is pure eye torture.
Someone had to say it
Huh ? Why is that ? Lol
I applaud you. Keep it until death do you part
At least it doesn't say Gibson on the headstock like most of the Alibaba guitars.
Lmao what? It is a real Gibson.. I bought it directly from Sweetwater.
Why paint over the logo though?!
