• Guys, we've spent considerable money converting the Les Paul Forum to this new XenForo platform, and we have ongoing monthly operating expenses. THE "DONATIONS" TAB IS NOW WORKING, AND WE WOULD APPRECIATE ANY DONATIONS YOU CAN MAKE TO KEEP THE LES PAUL FORUM GOING! Thank you!

Since starting out with guitar, Paul Kossoff has been a hero of mine.
Thank you for sharing this beautiful instrument with us Fried Okra!

Incredible, incredible, incredible! I think I’ve scrolled through 100x by now and can’t seem to stop. Why do other pics look like the top is completely faded, but you can clearly see some red left in these pics?

Just enough lighting. Too much lighting hides the color that has nearly faded away. :salude

Great pictures - for some reason I am seeing each set of photos several times? Makes it a bit tedious to scroll through them.

No doubt. I don't know how that happened. But, I corrected it. Thanks. :salude

A beaten and beautiful relic from a rock warrior of ancient days... I've been reading about the Kossoff burst periodically for years, and I'm glad that it's being preserved, venerated, and made more closely accessible (visually) to lovers of the Les Paul. Play it joyfully and in good health!

Love the wear on top of the bass side ABR-1 post. Assuming that is the original, don't often see them that worn, but shows the love and play on this guitar. Thank you for taking all those pictures of the guitar and case.

Love the speed knobs! Always have. Got 'em on a couple of mine already, Grovers next up.
What a cool guitar.:salude

Thanks Big Al.

I have really grown fond of speed knobs. Much easier to work. :salude

Thanks a million for the Koss pics, simply AMAZING!

+1 on the speed knobs, as after eons it seems I just stuck a couple on a LP Jr setup for slide, loving them LOL!

Awesome pics Fred!
So was the Mayfair Ballroom gig the one where he broke the neck off as he fell?
