LES PAUL CUSTOM 1990s

Estimate $6,000-$8,000

LEE : "I FIRST PICKED UP ON ERIC IN John Mayall's Bluesbreakers, when he was using the Les Paul Standard. He has a beautiful 1960 Les Paul which he's decided to keep, as he still uses it a lot and has owned it since way before my time. But he's put the remaining Les Pauls, which are varied, into the sale. There's a Les Paul Recording, which was a gift from Les Paul himself and is actually signed to Eric from Les, so that's pretty special. And there's a really nice cherry wine coloured one, which Eric found a wee bit too heavy. There's also a lovely'59 Reissue which is also a beautiful piece.

"This Les Paul Custom was given to Eric by Mike Maguire at the Gibson Custom Shop. He called me and said they'd like Eric to try an f-hole Les Paul and how would he like it. At the time he was doing the blues album and was really into Alnico pickups, so I said why not fit it with those. He picked it up and messed around with it but I don't think he particularly took to it. It was used, though, and I always thought it would make a great slide guitar."
