hey;
this has been bugging me for a while:
I read les paul's homebuilt guitar, "The Log", that gibson based their LP's on, was built out of an old railway tie for the neck/body, with wings glued on.
I also read he wasn't too impressed with the Gibsons in the '50's.....
anyone know what kind of wood they used for railway ties back then? or anything else about this story?
thx.....
