Never met my grandfather. He was a chauffeur with eleven kids and no fucking Les Paul.

my Grandfather had a mean pair of Brass Knuckles and quite the collection of Butterflies pinned to a framed board.

he was a Mechanic and went to work in his Slippers

Time to call Joe Bonamassa.

Cool read. Lucky guy!

Is it just me or have prices eased a wee bit on these? Or are the big bucks only for the most pristine of instruments?
Not that I could ever afford one.

It's a fake...

He's probably already rubbing his hands together

But to be fair to him, I have heard that he always pays whatever something is worth and he never takes advantage of anybody. If he saw an elderly person that had a mint condition '59 LP and they were none the wiser as to its' value, he wouldn't screw them over. Well at least that's what I have heard

There's been a few of these on that forum over the years that have turned out to be disingenuous.
Some people just get a buzz out of the fuss they create I spose. Sit at the computer and read all the comments... whilst masturbating furiously.
Not saying this happened here but... y’know. ....

Wow looks barely used

From the same guy with the Manfred Mann Pickup story:

He was talking to Lou Walmsley from The Underdogs (look them up, kiddies) about past gear and Lou mentioned his Les Paul from the early days of the band. Here's a picture of it from 1966.

Think about that for a moment..... What you're looking at is a 1959 Burst, plugged into a Jansen amp, gigging in a Kiwi pub.

I see they used some other cool gear back in the day too (335, Strat, Tele, Mustang) but I didn't know about this! Looks like a race lads! Who will find the lost kiwi burst!

In pieces...it hasn't showed up yet....because he's having trouble...attaching the bits to the parts from an Epiphone LP to make two guitars...

He probably pulls the project out every now and then and stabs at the neck joint with a blunt chisel to try and make it work....
