Funny you should mention this. My absolute favorite LP just got it's own thread over on the MLP forum. I'll just quote the whole damned thing.

I've seen that pic, as well. I wonder if he had 2 of them or swapped some parts around. That's got a staple and no Bigsby...

Yeah, I've wondered the same thing. Still, it's the only pic I remember seeing with him playing a Les Paul.

Ive played a few vintage 50s paulas that were amazing (and a few that were just OK). If we are talking about a daily driver, then I would actually just like my R8 back, prettier than those old Goldtops, tone was pretty much there and played nicer than all but one of them.

But..if I had to choose it would have been Gary Moore's old #2, 1959 burst..the one without the pup covers. Wonder what happened to it. That or pick and choose from Gary Richwrath's collection. Must be a Gary thing.

I wouldn't mind Paul Kossoff's 59 Standard. That thing wailed.

Pearly for sure. I also wouldn't mind having Peter Green/Gary Moore's old Les Paul.

I agree, but if they ever found Clapton's "Beano Burst" (as the LPF guys call it), that would be my #1 pick.

Tossup between Pearly for tone and Page for the, well @#$% it's Page!

Hey TGWIF..whats that debate over whether the Reverend Billy Gibbons has the real worlds rarest guitar, and I forgot the model name . He claims to have one, but has never produced any documentation..

The Moderne.
And it ain't.
The one he has is a clone.
BFG won't admit it out loud, but he won't let anyone look at it to confirm.

I suspect he got played and doesn't want to admit to it.

Oh, and definitely Pearly and Old Black.

I have to say that in all my years of being a Hendrix fan, I've *never* seen him playing a Les Paul.

I'm totally digging that P90 Custom.

David Gilmour's '56 Goldtop

Jimmy Page's Number 1 Les Paul.

Paul Kossoff's 'Burst.

Peter Frampton's Custom.

Keith Richard's '59 Burst.

Keith Richard's Custom.

One of my fave's ever. '59 Burst.
