I think I remember him saying something about that on the Disraeli Gears Classic Album dvd. I know he demonstrates his wah playing on that song using at Strat but I think he also said that he used it on the recording. I could be getting that mixed up though

i didnt say he didnt, the question was "did clapton play a Fender with Cream?" from what i know he picked up Brownie (his most notable Fender) afterwards.

Clapton bought Brownie from London's Sound City for $400 while touring with Cream in 1967.
