Capture the legendary tone of Eric Clapton's Beano Les Paul!
The Wizz Beano humbucker set captures the powerful, expressive character of Eric Clapton's legendary 1960 Gibson Les Paul Standard, famously heard on John Mayall & the Bluesbreakers' iconic "Beano" album.
Few guitar tones have been as influential as Clapton's sound on this recording. With its creamy sustain, rich vocal midrange, biting attack, and expressive dynamics, the Beano tone helped define the sound of British blues-rock and inspired generations of guitarists.
Developed through careful analysis of the original album and surviving live recordings, the Wizz Beano set is designed to recreate the distinctive tonal characteristics of Clapton's long-lost Les Paul.
Rather than using lower-strength Alnico III magnets, Wizz chose fully charged Alnico V magnets to deliver a wider dynamic range, stronger articulation, and a more immediate response. The result is a rich, harmonically complex tone with excellent note definition, singing sustain, and plenty of vintage bite.
Featuring unpotted coils, uncovered bobbins, and vintage-inspired construction, the Beano set delivers exceptional touch sensitivity and harmonic bloom, capturing the warmth, clarity, and expressive character of classic PAF humbuckers.
Whether you're chasing Clapton's legendary woman tone or simply looking for a dynamic, vintage-voiced humbucker set, the Wizz Beano offers a distinctive combination of warmth, punch, and articulation.
