I imagine that guitar will fetch a few shiny pennies. Very cool indeed.

Re: Les Paul's Prototype LP is up for Bid
It's funny that Les Paul is almost always seen playing a special Les Paul model with those fugly knobs and low impedance pickups, as if he eschewed attempts to make his signature model an attractive instrument that guitarists would be willing to buy. On the issue of pickups, I wonder if he ever met and/or got along with Seth Lover.

What's comical is that the vast majority of Les' guitar collection were prototypes as he always ripped up guitars and was experimenting. Calling this Les' prototype doesn't really narrow it down. That black beauty is not the special one. The tuxedo white LPs where Les played with low impedance pickups and had the mic inputs that later became the Personal/Professional versions are the ones to have; or even better one of the half dozen 'clunkers' that were acoustic NY Epiphone archtops that were braced with metal and wired with Les' hand-wound pickups.
