61 Les Paul

  1961 Gibson Les Paul/SG serial: 20962. I bought this guitar from Vintage N Rare in Bath because I really wanted a real Gibson PAF humbucking guitar. Originally painted in cherry red the colour has for some reason faded underneath the lacquer, the back is a little less faded than the front but under the pickguard the paint is still there in all its glory. Personally I think this makes this guitar a little bit cooler than the 'collector grade' ones out there as, probably, no other '61 Les Paul looks like this one.
  Sound wise, its just awesome and arguably the best sounding all round guitar I own. The neck is extremely bladey and the whole guitar is a bit too light for me as I do prefer a nice heavy 50's Les Paul. But all round, a special one indeed.
