Neil Young, take a bow.Reading an interview with the man, he said the most important thing about playing guitar is enjoying yourself and having the ability to jam and not simply focus on mastering technique.
Well, listen to him live and the man certainly knows how to jam, and use a whole ton of one of effects that really drive his sound. I was actually surprised at how much he relies on his equipment.
His most famous guitar started life as a Gibson Gold top which ended up with a black tarnish.
Then a bigsby was added as well as some metal parts including the pickguard which somehow seems to add up to the feedback monster and microphonic firebird pickup that stuck in the tail.
No idea what the plate in the back is for, probably stash and left behind from the early days...
Regardless, I think you'll agree, it looks the business..

Hi. Do you recommend Japanese vintage Les Pauls for collection?
Hi, well that all depends on what your after, a player or an investment and the market with vintage japanese les pauls is a strange one at the moment.
The Orville by gibson is a beautiful classic and can still be picked up very cheap for what you get,I watched a 59 replica with long tenon go for $999 just the other day.
I'm told the early les pauls which don't have a bolt-on neck are highly sought after and my friends who work at the local music shop reckon that the Japanese guitars , classics that is, will be the investment of the future.
Do you have any model in mind?
