Check this out - a circa 1969(ish) Les Paul Professional from a clip in 1970. You don't see many of these in action...

Sure it belongs here. I never saw one in action on stage.
That cracked me up a bit during the solo- all of those steel note coming from somewhere- and no lap player anywhere in sight.

Many of you have probably already seen this video, but (in my opinion) here is the best demo out there of an early Les Paul Professional:

I'm not sure if I ever posted this before, but an episode of Pawn Stars had one of these walk in.....................

Also, when I was at the Nashville Antique Archeology location (American Pickers), Mike had one hanging on the wall. With the price he was asking, I think it will hang there for many years to come!

Too bad they couldn't be bothered to put on fresh strings for a $4200.00 guitar. I've never seen strings that bad.

I don't think they really want to sell anything but T Shirts & refrigerator magnets.
