  • John F. Crowley (2000, 2015). Harrison's Guitars, Part 9 [1968: Gibson J-200 / 1968: 1957 Gibson Les Paul Standard (goldtop, cherry red) / 1968: 1968 Fender Jazz Bass / 1968: 1968 Fender Telecaster ... rosewood]. (theCanteen.com).
    "​1968: 1957 Gibson Les Paul Standard: Once upon a time John Sebastian of the Lovin' Spoonful had a gold-top Les Paul Standard guitar. It found its way to Rick Derringer of the McCoys, who took the well used guitar back to Gibson and had them refinish it in cherry red. But after that Derringer didn't fancy it any more, so he traded it in at Dan Armstrong's Manhattan shop. Soon Eric Clapton walked in and bought it, and in 1968 Slowhand gave it to Harrison. A few weeks later, Harrison picked Clapton up on his way to Abbey Road, where Harrison had the guitar -- and a Marshall amp -- waiting for Clapton to add his singular lead track to "While My Guitar Gently Weeps." Harrison used this guitar in the "Revolution" promo film and the sessions for Let It Be and Abbey Road (notably on "Something"). "
    Note: George's Les Paul given by Eric Clapton was Standard model.
