“Eric had sweated through the paint job – not long after that the headstock snapped off”: Also owned by George Harrison, Eric Clapton's “Fool” SG was already legendary by the time it ended up in Todd Rundgren's hands – but that journey had taken its toll

Todd Rundgren The Fool SG.

Eric Clapton has never been one to hold onto every guitar he owns and plays. He gave his While My Guitar Gently Weeps Les Paul to George Harrison, and his storied ’58 LP to Albert Lee. He also famously auctioned off his Wonderful Tonight acoustic for charity. Now, Todd Rundgren has revealed how he came to own his iconic The Fool SG after he'd used it on some of Cream's biggest hits.

Built in 1964, the Gibson received an eye-catching paint job courtesy of Dutch design collective The Fool, and has become a totem of the psychedelic era and 1967's Summer of Love.
