Well first you have to be Eric Clapton.
Second..in those days he was using a strat, which in no way sounds like a Les Paul.
Third..I believe he was using Marshall Amps. Even if he wasn't he was definetly using Tube Amps.
Fourth..Guitars may be layered on the tracks which will make a lone guitar sound nothing like the recording.

First of all he always used tube amps. he used a fender champ on layla. with his fender strat. A les paul sounds NOTHING like a strat. And with the studio engineering and double tracks, you probably wont get the exact sound.
I am Comfortably Numb... :D
Oh yeah...STICK IT TO THE MAN!

try cranking some reverb, getting on your bridge pup, and playing with your settings.
get a very clean tone, then add in a slight distortion.

Sheesh, aren't you guys being a little rough on him? He just asked some help on achiveing a close tone to Clapton and you pretty much told him to buy a new amp and guitar :rolleyes: .

heres a bit off of a Harmony Central Column.
anyway, something helpful now... try using Clapton's famed "woman tone" on your neck pup with the tone all the way on zero, your drive cranked, and your settings cranked too.
heres a vid of him explaining it. a bit hard to follow at points though.

As you may know, Clapton played on a track of the new Santana record Supernatural. EC also sat in with the band at Tokoyo's Budokan Theater on April 28, 2000. Benny reports that Eric didn't bring any of his own gear. Instead, he played one of the Santana tour's spare rigs -- a Strat through a Twin Reverb. Benny has heard many well-known guitarists play this setup, but when Clapton plugged in, it immediately sounded like Eric Clapton's guitar.
The moral of Benny's story: It's the player, not the instrument.
