I don't know one guitarist who switched from, say, a Gibson to a Fender. They play both.
That would be Clapton then, maybe Jeff Beck too.
I have some live concerts from John Mayall anniversay, Montrieux Jazz festival, even Cream reunion - all Fender.
Seems to me Clapton has some fallout against Gibson almost - he only praises Fender nowadays.
How he even had a small Fender amp, and some pedals to do Cream reunion - must be something he has against Gibson. That sound on reunion was not even remotely close to Marshall and a humbucker Gibson he used back then - I was severely disappointed at that.
I have some concerts with Beck too, Japan and Ronnie Scotts, and never Gibson. I saw still photos of one evening with a ES175 or something at Ronnie Scotts, but those performances were not on DVD.
So they both seem endorsed by Fender and not allowed to be publicly with anything else.
I mean Knopfler do both in concerts. Mike Campbell do both as well.
