Gibson has continued its fine form of recreating legendary artists’ electric guitars by unveiling the Eric Clapton 1958 Les Paul Custom – a replica of Slowhand’s famed triple-humbucker Gibson Les Paul.

Clapton has become synonymous with a string of stand-out six-strings, from his Gibson ‘Beano’ Burst and ‘The Fool’ SG, all the way to his ‘Blackie’ and ‘Brownie’ Fender Stratocasters.
