For those of you who appreciate Eric Clapton's Strat years, what do you consider to be his best tone?
I love what he does on the Layla album. I also like the sounds he gets at Crossroads 2007 and on the old 24 Nights discs. I like some of the stuff from Slowhand, but I don't like the sound of his Strat during that time of laid-back Clappy.
Buddy of mine has a mid-nineties Clapton blackie. He's a Strat nut and swears by it. He does get great tone.
