I own a Sunburst Les Paul. Bought it almost 30 years ago, it’s one of five guitars I own. It’s the one I play each and every day. Thank you and God bless you, Mr. Paul!

I have a Les Paul Studio Faded that I bought from a pawn shop. Great guitar from a great man. Darn, how can his fingers move that fast.

Maybe I will try this:
