The one he is seen with most is a Fender Stratocaster. When he was in Cream he used Gibson Guitars mainly. I saw a picture of him with a Gibson SG, and there was one called a Firebird, I believe. Sorry, I thought you said guitar.

With the Yardbirds, Clapton played a Fender Telecaster, a Fender Jazzmaster and a 1964 Cherry-Red Gibson ES-335. He became exclusively a Gibson player for a period beginning in mid-1965, when he purchased a used Gibson Les Paul Sunburst Standard guitar from a local guitar store in London. Clapton commented on the slim profile of the neck, which would indicate it as a 1960 model.

Early during his stint in Cream, Clapton's first Les Paul Standard was stolen. He continued to play Les Pauls exclusively with Cream (one bought from Andy Summers was almost identical to the stolen guitar) until 1967 when he acquired his most famous guitar in this period, a 1964 Gibson SG.

In 1968 Clapton bought a Gibson Firebird and started using the 1964 Cherry-Red Gibson ES-335 again.

In late 1969, Clapton made the switch to the Fender Stratocaster.

Clapton plays a custom 000-ECHF Martin these days.
