Oh I could have done without hearing that. The old vintage guitar for a song story. On the flip side I used to know a guy that had a '58 gold top Paul. Probably one of the most "butt-ugly" paint jobs in history, but geez did that thing ever have that honest to goodness Les Paul "punch. The newer ones have nothing that comes close to sounding like that. He wouldn't sell that baby for any amount of money, in fact, I doubt you would be able to pry it from his cold dead fingers. :rolleyes:
