DaveK Posted January 2, 2003 Report Posted January 2, 2003 Brian: I know I have some in the STACK of Guitar player magazines that I have! Any specific info you are looking for out of these (so I can get you the right pix)? Do you want a scanned copy or me to mail them to you? Dave K Quote
Brian Posted January 2, 2003 Author Report Posted January 2, 2003 Actually any and all information would be helpful, I'm toying with the idea of making a replica........ Quote
Jehle Posted January 2, 2003 Report Posted January 2, 2003 Actually any and all information would be helpful, I'm toying with the idea of making a replica........ I know I've got a picture around. I think I have a Gibson book that details Les Pauls involvement with Gibson, so it should be easy to find. Quote

As I recall, it started off with just the middle section and the neck, kindof a neck through with no wings. The band he was in at the time freaked out and told him that it couldn't possibly work, so he added the wings on the side to make it look like a guitar. I think the picture that I have is him playing the 2x4 version of the guitar, before the wings were added, and his arm set in a cast. I had a look in the books last night and I can't seem to find them yet... Quote
