Greeny had the broken headstock iirc.
Fwiw I feel by far bis best sounding burst was the 58 lemony one he had with the uncovered pickups. He played on the live evening with the midnight blues band video. Real screamer.
Greeny sounds a little weak in the bridge position...although Gary certainly overcame...

ha! That "line" has always bothered me on Les Pauls lol
Yes.
I dont really like perfection in a top. Both of my Les Pauls and my 245 have some weirdness going on.

You know me man, I just love bolt-ons with Floyds so I couldn't pass up the joke.
That said though, if I were burst shopping I'd be looking at this one over Gary's since that's not the "real" Moore burst anyway just a guitar he owned for a bit. Plus this one has the bonus of a double creme bridge PAF, zebra neck and non artist related price (which is still bonkers)....

Really.....you've played it personally??
Because the vid with Phil Harris playing it certainly sounds anything from weak.

Of course not. And yes I have watched the PH vid.
Compared to real Pafs in burst goldtops and lp/sgs I have played it sounds tame comparitively (in the bridge) Also compared to Gary's other guitars it sounds tame. From Black Rose/BotS til he sold it.
If you think it sounds absolutely the bees knees in the world of vintage Les Pauls, great. But I don't..neck tone maybe...but not bridge.

I think that was the 1 called 'Stripe' if I recall. I agree with you too!

And with the magic of the internet, I now know it's actually a '59. (check the ebay ad above.. the dood added some pics-including scans of a magazine article about Gary's vintage les pauls)
