Heard about this on some other forums. RIP Les. I don't have a Les Paul, I have a '68 SG Custom. I never really liked the Les Paul guitars, I mean I admire how well they sound and play but they are bricks. It started growing on me a bit lately.
Back in high school a friend bought a Les Paul from some old guy who bought the guitar new in the 50s. It was a Black Beauty. The guy played it, put it in the case, stuck it in the closet and forgot about it. My friend picked it up for $500 apparently. Man that thing was good.
My dad's friend has a '70 Les Paul as well.
