» Thanks for making an awesome guitar, Les Paul
Just as I was writing about a Les Paul…never got a chance to see him, supposedly he played in NYC frequently. I’ve always wanted to get a white or Sunburst Les Paul Custom, even though they weigh a ton. The only real prominent players I’ve seen play these are Randy Rhoads.

Ever since I saw “The Song Remains The Same” (minus the horrible drama sequences), I have been fascinated with Jimmy Page. His playing style is so organic, emotive and even his occasional sloppiness…is perfect. Because of him and Slash, I have always wanted to play a Les Paul. In the time being, as some of you may know, I play a Telecaster, which I also love. Not many people know, but I decided to get it because when Jimmy Page first started playing with Led Zep (see BBC sessions pics), he played a telecaster (with I think a dragon on it…). Anyways, can’t wait to see this, thanks to my friend William Beckett for posting this!
