• 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!

Sir Paul is usually more of a Gibson guy, but he does have a brown sunburst Stratocaster. These are the only photos I've ever seen of it. Are there enough details available to get an idea as to the year? It's pretty beat-up so my guess is it's a vintage instrument.

Looks like a slab board, but hard to say for sure.

Hard to tell for sure with the photo, but the red colouring from the sunburst seems to have faded, which would indicate a 1959 or 1960.

Sir Paul is talented. I really admire him. Can't stop listening to his playlist.
