Bill-Murray Posted January 13, 2005 Report Share Posted January 13, 2005 For my first build I'm going to be doing a white SG with 2 p-90's. What kind of bridge did claptons have?? It was weird, kinda like a bigsby, but kinda like those weird tailpieces. And finally, does anybody have a link to where I can buy them and know if they require a neck angle?? Thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
johnsilver Posted January 14, 2005 Report Share Posted January 14, 2005 Are you talking about the SG that Clapton used to record the Disraeli Gears LP with Cream? It was painted by a Dutch art group called the Fool. Very appropriate painting for the period. If that's the one, it didn't have a Bigsby type tailpiece or anything like that. It had sort of a tune-o-matic - a fixed tailpiece but the bridge itself was screwed into the body rather than on posts and it had individual saddles for compensation. I have a book with a picture of it. I haven't seen another bridge quite like it, so no idea where to get it. Sorry, not much help. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PerryL Posted January 14, 2005 Report Share Posted January 14, 2005 Allparts have these on hand for $45. American. They look like what "Fool" used. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
