Abbey Road Wobbly Les Paul — Clapton Lead
Clapton played Harrison's red 1957 Gibson Les Paul Lucy, with a Fender Deluxe commonly identified as the amplifier, and the finished lead was treated with ADT and varispeed to make it sound more characteristically Beatles-like. The amp controls are approximated, while the modulation block represents the documented studio processing rather than a period pedal.

Notes
Use wide bends and strong finger vibrato; keep the ADT wobble subtle enough that the pitch movement never becomes seasick.
