Thank! Sorry to hear,you may have to sell your Les Paul. I go though these financial ups and downs frequently but I am hoping to hold on to this guitar. The pickups in mine sound great,I don't know what they are...Burstbuckers? I love the finish on mine,it reminds me of one of he Les Pauls made in 1960 like the ones on the left and right of my guitar(below).

You can always come back. Eric Clapton is back in the Les Paul Club since he retired "Brownie" and auctioned "Blackie".

But I don't miss them because the one I have right now is better than the rest.

She's good, is she in a band? I don't know the song to know whether it's a cover or not.
