Don't put the guitar in your car, or you'll crash and the headstock will snap off.

It'll be ok as long as you don't let your girlfriend drive.

He made a good job of it (if thats the guitar) but sorry, i hate Bolan and Les Pauls. More to the point, is'nt it about time someone created something new instead of rehashing old shit. Its getting well boring.

I love the tone he got no matter what guitar he played but his LP tone was so rocking.

Big, big, big fan of T. Rex.

Me too. What happened to his Les Paul? I heard it was stolen after he died.

Burst registry says this '58 restoration's body is his, a lot of people argue on it though. Has the bigsby marks, nick next to lower left neck pickup ring, certain bits of grain match while others don't, but then it would've been filled/sanded/finished over to be a burst again.
