That was EXACTLY the problem. There's even a bit about that on page 64 in the Chris Welch CREAM book. For one thing oil paints never truly dry and artists usually shellac their canvasses to speed that along. Not a good choice of paint for a working instrument. The really surprising thing is that it held up as well as it did. However, if you ever see the real one up close, you will see that nearly all of it has been heavily retouched.
hey does anyone know where the orginal is?
pictures of its current state would be nice
Todd Rundgren auctioned the original Fool SG thru Christies about 4 years ago. He has a replica of it now.Todd Rundgren owns it...

My close friend was Todd's guitar player for the "Nearly Human" tour and also played on the record. He got to play The Fool on occassion. Can you imagine? This guitar would thrill me 100 times more than seeing the Green/Moore.
Just for you RocknTommy! First pic is Jeff holding the complete Dragon. The second is a collage.

Enjoy guys!
Nice job!
What does it say on back of the neck plate?
Sorry if this is off topic.
Man, I dont know how you can distinguish between the beano, the moore burst, pagey's number one, hendrix's white strat, joe walsh's burst, clapton's fool sg etc.
All I know is, if I ever got the chance to play an instrument that was that important in the developement of rock and role, I would be very happy!
Anyone know what the duck bros are?
BTW, the reason Gibson went to nylon saddles was because they got complaints that their guitars were too bright sounding. The nylon was more mellow...
