Haha! I think it's cool all the same... but the time & effort in setting up that photo shoot.

Someone should have slipped in at the back a Peavey Rage and a couple of Samicks, just for a giggle.

But theres one big dildo front and centre

Les Pauls are great, but there is something about the extra snap of the strings and the roomier scale length of teles.

There's more "real" 59s in circulation than Gibson ever made out so the story goes...

No, the the documented '59s are well short of those produced, there's more out there somewhere!
