This 'unique' guitar is a near exact replica of Eric Clapton's famous psychedelic 1963 SG Standard. It is an original mid-1961 Gibson SG Standard that has been specially hand-painted by R. Daskam. Thirteen inch wide, 1 3/8 inch thick, solid Honduras mahogany body with beveled edges weighing just 7.50 lbs. One-piece mahogany neck with a nice, fat nut width of just over 1 11/16 inches, a standard Gibson scale length of 24 3/4 inches and a very fast thin-to-medium profile. Back and front of headstock hand-painted. On the back of the headstock is a small rectangular window displaying the original serial number. Two-layer black over white plastic truss-rod cover with "Les Paul" engraved in white, secured by two screws. Mid-sixties, individual Grover Roto-Matic tuners with half-moon metal buttons. Single-bound Brazilian rosewood fretboard with 22 jumbo frets (re-fretted) and inlaid pearl trapezoid position markers. Original five-layer, black over white plastic pickguard with five screws (now painted "The Fool"). Two original early "patent number" pickups (covers removed) with outputs of 7.88k and 7.18k. The original black plastic pickup "rings" are stamped on the underside "MR 491" and "M-69 7" (neck pickup), and "MR 490" and "M-69 8" (bridge pickup). Inside the neck pickup cavity is a small white label with "M.J.K / 2003" written in ink. The inside the bridge pickup cavity is signed in ink "R. Daskam / #6". The potentiometers are all stamped "134 61 03" (Centralab, January 1961). Four controls (two volume, two tone) plus three-way selector switch on lower treble bout. Original black plastic bell-shaped knobs with metal tops. A wonderful example of Rick Daskam's artistic genius on an original 1961 Gibson Les Paul SG Standard. Housed in the original Gibson five-latch, shaped black hardshell case with orange plush lining (9.00). As per the specifications of the original guitar, which was given by Eric Clapton to George Harrison, who then gave it to Todd Rundgren in 1974, the following changes have been made: the tuners have been replaced with mid-sixties chrome-plated Grover Roto-Matic tuners with half-moon metal buttons. And now for the best part... the guitar has been hand-painted with a brush exactly like the original. It was painstakingly researched from every angle before setting out to create the ultimate SG ''Fool'' reproduction. This guitar is as close to the original as you are going to find, period. Every inch of this guitar was hand-painted by artist Rick Daskam, and then 'clear-coated' to protect the artwork. We took detailed photographs of this guitar before the 'Fool' paint job and we instructed the artist to leave the original serial number "209XX" (ca. June 1961) showing through a small rectangular 'window' on the back of the headstock. Simply amazing…
I like this guy. He's not Phil X, but he's not trying to be. I'm happy that Fretted Americana is still giving us videos of sweet vintage/rare/cool guitars I'll never afford.
This guy freaking rocks and has a great voice too!. "He isn't a PhilX"?... yeah he's fucking better and not a complete wanker!
??? Lol I love Phil, he has great guitar chops, but Jared is a better artist by a long shot
Big shoes to fill, but doing an amazing job so far, keep it up Jared!
this dude is absolutely awesome. really one of the very phew who could have replaced mister X and leave no sour taste.
Thanks fretted americana.
I'm a Huge fan of Phil X but you have to respect the talent of James Jared Nichols. Great musician!
Excellent singer too!
It would be awesome to see a full band demo with this guitar, playing some Cream!
totally agree.....the lack of a full band jam at the end is definitely missed
We want a band jam
I'm really digging Jared, he's completely different than Phil, but his personality and different style is kind of a breath of fresh air.
Just when we were beginning to suspect that Phil X was going to be irreplaceable! Outstanding!
When Phil gets back from tour land, I want to see these two have a jam session in front of the camera, that would be way cool!
Won't lie, I hear Jared's singing, and i just expect him to start playing Kyuss, and I've got nothing wrong with that XD
Oh I could dig that!!!! So true!!!
Screams Clapton ! Screams Cream!...video of the week..Love this! Loved the tone on this SG...now ive got the SG FEVER again....sold my last one.. Sitting on top of the World was awesome!.....thumbs up!
RICKY DEAN they are such cool guitars!
Steppin' out! And Blind Faith! This guy is the best!

Such a breath of fresh air hearing another guitarist
How can anyone not love a good old classic rocker?! Great demo dude!!
Cool! Glad y'all are back!
How can anyone not like this guy? Good job.
Hitherto, this one was the best in my opinion. What an absolute display of guitar playing skills. Who needs a pick when you master your finger technique!! Keep it up, proud of ya

thats the plan
Excellent demo and playing! Loved it!
I like this guy! Great chops and great singer, too.

Oh damn! Love how he actually started singing it too. Nice voice and playing my man!
You rock JJN!
damn, love your playing man.
What a feel, JJN! Got me hooked! (Y)
Man this guy rocks!
Why is everybody so fk negative about this guy? I already see a lot of inprovemends sinds the first video's. I know the video's were probably recorded after each other.
stop comparing him with phil. they both have their own thing, and they're good at it.
keep on the good work
Wesley ACDCRythms I have no fucking idea why this guy is so much better than Phil X and not to mention Jared to me is more about showing the guitar than him just showing off plus I like Jareds Vocals as well I think Phil is a great guitar player but sucks horribly in terms of singing idk Jared to me just seems like someone that I feel like I can enjoy more
I cant say he's better
dude is growing on me.... nice job.
That spectacular SG and that magnificent Marshal. Mmm
Well that's put a smile on my face😊
Oh my god this man has every ounce of feel in his playing, fucking amazing
The first performance was absolutely ass-kicking - couldn't be more sold on JJN, welcome to the family \m/
damn this guy got the tone and the groove. gotta love SG's
great player playing a great guitar...love finger picking...
Love this guy
Jared James Nichols, I hope you know you're that next GUITAR HERO! You are what is missing in todays Rock N' Roll era! Keep Rock'n! \m/ Shout out from TEXAS!
Yes, I painted that guitar. Thanks for the mention. Rick Daskam
Killed it!!!
Love me some 61 SG!
Jared is a monster player and has his own style. Good choice!
Awesome!
awesome!
Jared, this is my second video with you as the host. Fella, you can damn make those guitars talk!
Nice brother!
Tubular Performance! 😎🎸👍🏽
Yep,couldn't have picked a better Phil in for Phil if youda had a contest.GreatjobJared!
I'd kill for that guitar!
JJN has a great voice and what an awesome player! Great replacement for Phil
woulda been sick to see you and a band cover had to cry today at the end there
Jared is awesome. Never seen that vibrato system before. Kind of wanted to see it in action lol
Lovin' it, I wish I could afford this lol
That's a sweet axe! A few things though... Clapton's was mid-60's (64/65) and never had the Deluxe Vibrato (sideways vibrato). Originally it had a Lyre vibrato which was later updated to a stopbar by a subsequent owner. Still, I want this damn guitar.
I'm literally sitting here with a book on the history of Les Paul/SG's for reference, so I'm pretty sure that's accurate.
I must admit the sideways vibrola just doesn't look right with the pain job because it covers some of it up.
You should do a remake of this cream song (sunshine of your love). Your vocals are perfect to do am awesome cover.
awesome
I want that! Yes siree bob!
Nice singing!
It will be mine !!
Just saw Jared open for UFO / Saxon in Boston. Dude slayed.
That Guitar is so .... yes please
That dude is f**** awesome!!😃😃😃
Most people don't realize that this is actually the guitar played on the live recording of Crossroads, not the 335.
Wicked demo. o.o
I want some Jared songs with the band at the end please!
Fretted Americana,
I'm an instant fan of Jared, he's a REALLY great player but please ask him to do these things in future videos:
1) Either scream his name at the beginning or insert some kind of loud high pitched "OWWW!" sound...
2) ...Insert more shouts and screams in general.
3) Go off on many random tangents and stories that often don't have anything to do with the guitar in the video.
Eye Beam or just be Phil...
I hope Phil can make more vids I miss him. Jared just isn't doing the job for me for me.
Whatever about the screams, I need the random tangents though!
This guy is way better than phil x!! Congrats jared!! Keep rocking
I like Jared so much more than Phil X. He's so chill, and doesn't act like a weirdo
he should do a cover at the end of the video too!
cool SG ... if only I have couple thousand dollars laying around (TT)
btw great demo as always Jared
the feel
Yessir!!!
Jared does the neck even though shorter scale, seem like it sticks out a bit too far to reach towards the headstock?
I like this dude. Really weird not seeing Phil X here, but Jared has a different vibe. Phil's crazy, but Jared's just cool.
Dude you should play blues your voice is killer
Jared hits the spot. Don't let Eric see this.....
really wish it had the painted pickup rings and the covers on it though
"So Gnarly!" Classic! People bothered by your playing style & skills are just wishing they could play with your tone & skills.
Nice playing! I hate to pop your bubble, but Sunshine of Your Love was recorded using a 1958 Les Paul Custom that Albert Lee now owns, in fact most of Disraeli Gears was recorded with the Custom. Fresh Cream was recorded using a Sunburst LP that Clapton bought from Andy Summers. Drew Berlin owns the Fresh Cream Les Paul.
EC and Jack would be proud.
