Check this baby out. For me it's the holy grail of guitars, others may disagree but I think it's fantasticly cool.

Fantastic, some nice vids tagged with that one too.

That's a great vid, I love stuff like that.

And good god, that is one NICE Les Paul. In fact, whenever somebody says the words "Les Paul" that's almost the exact image that comes to mind.

This was up on dimarzioforum a couple of months ago, there's also his vintage strat, I think it's a '63? Lemme see if I can go find it...

That's exactly what I was thinking. That is just the iconic Les Paul image isn't it. That's what Les Paul's were all about.

Yeah, he's got a '51 tele:

If Larry was any kind of man he'd invite us all round to have a look at his guitar collection

I bet it's got loads of interesting pieces in it.

He is a kind man.... with a fantastic collection. He's also smart enough not to have an open house

Now this is what I don't get (and feel free to disagree)... why arse about with self tuning, sparkley blue, whiz bang fad guitars when man is able to create such a simple and beautiful guitar?

Very few of us will ever be able to afford, let alone touch, such a classic guitar... but it's almost comforting to know that it exsists.

Oh boy. Here comes the "Gibson hasnt changed their guitar in 50 years" schtick.
