Issue 1242 dated 7th May 1966
Gil Southworth verified Beano as a 1959 model years ago on this forum. I'm not implying he knows where it is or who owns it, but imo if a long-time dealer knows that level of detail it's probably not going to just pop up for us to find.
What happens if it is discovered, and the person who has possession of it doesn’t realise it was an originally stolen guitar? Does the owner have to hand it over to the police and is Is then confiscated and returned to Clapton ? I take it the purchaser loses anything he paid for it and has to go after the person who sold it to him for compensation of sorts? Curious to know. Great thread great forum
I can say that the microphone in front of the Bluesbreaker combo is a U67 centred about 18 to 24 inches from the grill, it's hidden behind EC on the famous pic with the amp.

Well it has always been attributed to being a 1960 (also the reissue custom shop model was based on a 1960 with a slim neck )Gil Southworth verified Beano as a 1959 model years ago on this forum.

I believe with every fiber in my body that the person who posses Beano knows exactly what he has , without a shadow of doubt.What happens if it is discovered, and the person who has possession of it doesn’t realise it was an originally stolen guitar?

Wow, now that's an interesting detail!
At least for me, since I'm into recording for longer than I care to admit. I always wanted to know which mic they used on that session. Not just because it was the Beano session but as an example for what they would typicalle use in the early 60s. I mean the only well documented sessions in the early 60s were the Beatles at Abbey Road. We know a bit about Hendrix recordings as well, but that's about it. Very interesting to know they used a U67. Some years ago I discussed that with a good friend of mine and a real mic Guru and we came to the conclusion that a Sure Unidyne could have been the weapon of choice (as Hendrix seems to like them). And in the end it was a 67
Great find, thanks for that info!
That also is interesting for people who chase the recorded Beano Sound. The U67 is a very colourful mic so it makes it even harder to decipher the ingredients of that sound (Alnico Speakers or Rangemaster or tubes).
Do you recognize the console as well by any chance?

Will this be a top end collector do you think?
You just can't beat a Beano thread
What is a "top end collector"? :hmm
