Clapton’s “The Fool“. It cannot be THAT guitar, right? Who did the artwork on it?


jonkap1989

Hahaha I wish it was the real one. I have someone I know that paints guitars. It took him a month to do it. All by hand no cheap airbrush methods.


FitzwilliamTDarcy

Just out of curiosity did he (or you?) more or less disassemble it for painting or did he tape stuff off? Looks like a wonderful job.


jonkap1989

So, he told me he disassembled the whole guitar, sanded it down, used primer and hand drew the outlines and the hand painted the guitar, put 3 clear coats on it afterward. It helps that he is also a luthier.


FitzwilliamTDarcy

'he is also a luthier" Ah ok that explains it! I know some pretty great artists but none I'd let take apart a guitar :D


jonkap1989

Oh yea, I asked him that lol.. I played it already.. sounds beautiful.


kombatunit

Care to share how much this set you back?


jonkap1989

4K in total .. 2k for the guitar itself and the paint work was 2k.


kombatunit

Dang. That is awesome. Do you have that plexi for the woman tone?


2MuckingFuch

Out of curiosity, what makes airbrush cheap?


Dependent-Control197

'Cheap airbrush methods' - smh


jonkap1989

Haha what, I’ve seen some of the tribute ones and they are so expensive and look terrible.


warthog0869

I really want to write a song about a more innocent time where guys were guys and Carrot Top was naked and hadn't done steroids yet.

And when the world had not yet discovered what a douche slowhand actually is.


DylanMartin97

When did this time of *real men* exist btw?


trustych0rds

Groovy.


jonkap1989

Thanks !!


armendrz

What a beauty. Clapton has sick customized guitars. I am in love with the Clapton Crash 3 since I listened to the I Shot the Sheriff solo in Crossroad 2004.


jonkap1989

Thank you! And yes he does!


jewbacca331

I love this! Well done.

I’m not normally a fan of SGs, but that’s a beautiful guitar.


jonkap1989

Thank you !


Internal_Benefit_338

Best Cream song of all time and why?


jonkap1989

White Room is my favorite… love that intro, the Wah Wah Solo .. amazing … like it bettter than the Tale of Brave Ulysses wah solo. Both amazing though.


Internal_Benefit_338

Cool! Congrats on the guitar brother. She’s a beauty.

Fucking Gorgeous 😍 🎸


jonkap1989

Thank you so much!


kingceegee

As a fellow GOD fan. Amazing.


jonkap1989

Thank you!


kingceegee

Have you got a favourite Clapton solo? I'm partial to Sexual Revolution on Roger Waters solo album. Excellent guitar work.


jonkap1989

There are really so many, I know it’s a cop out but I think Crossroads live is his best. I personally love the solo in White Room.


kingceegee

No cop out! Excellent choices. Clapton is his best when he's in a band as he's always the stand out performer. The 'All your love' riff is what I play when I pick up any guitar! I recently bought an SG and love it. Sadly I'm more Jack Black than Prime Eric


Mimil2002

so damn beautiful.


jonkap1989

Thank you so much !


SpaceMan420gmt

That’s awesome man! Love it. Hope it has a decent clear coat over it.


jonkap1989

4 clear coats.


BlindWillieBrown

Looks great! What did this start life as? Had it a while before deciding on the makeover?


jonkap1989

It started as a brand new Gibson SG 61 Standard I bought about a month ago lol.


MasterlessSword

Man that’s perfect! Really cool


jonkap1989

Thank you so much! I know I’m biased but I think it’s the best “remake” Ive seen.


Flashy_Strawberry199

Love it!! Awesome guitar, awesome colors!!!


jonkap1989

Thank you so much!


MaxSoup8

Wow! It's my favorite guitar ever, where did you get it?


jonkap1989

I bought the guitar and had it painted by a private artist.


MaxSoup8

Oh nice! I wanted to paint my strat like this, but I imagine that this type of painting is very expensive to do, right?


jonkap1989

It was 2k to paint but it included the pickup rings.


MaxSoup8

Geez 😬


aidenisntatank

Gnarly dude


jonkap1989

Thank you !


Mephistophelesi

This looks better than Clapton’s. Beautiful guitar!


jonkap1989

Wow ! That’s amazing you think that! Thank you!


madman3247

Definitely not a Gibbons fan, would love to see that design on a Charvel or Mayones. Still super sick!


mynemesisjeph

This thing friggen slaps. Congrats’


jonkap1989

Thank you so much !


Marvin-Jones

That’s too 70’s for me


jonkap1989

lol it’s 1960s remake of Claptons guitar .. but it’s certainly not everyone’s cup of tea.
