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!
He played slide on No Expectations - his last but no means least contribution to the Stones' repertoire.

Yes, although Mick T had bought it off Keith in '67 whilst he was with the Bluesbreakers (after his Burst had been stolen). It was used by both guitarists during the '69 tour. Here it is in action at MSG a few months later:
Might also have been due to the shrinking of the celluloid. Many mint green pre-CBS Strat pickguards are cracked near the screw adjacent to the neck PU., which probably only became apparent after a few years.
The Grainger Burst reached $350k (incl. BP). I’d have thought it would go further, also given that price levels generally didn’t exactly come across as being low…
9 0643 went for $300k.
Interesting subtitles - never knew the lyrics to Texas Flood were:

All the telephone lines are down
It's flattened down on tax evader
Far lines around
Brian Jones's '68 Gold Top just fetched $704k at Julien's Auctions Bill Wyman property auction. That should presumably place it in the top 3 for known Les Paul sale prices...
