    Good find.

    Humorous that they talk about how Pete Townsend played one, and as they're zooming in on the photo to show the guitar, Pete's holding a Strat.
    ADD 5,200 to the post count you see, thank you. :)

    They also say that a 55 sold for $45.000 at auction in 2007 or something, when the 1958-1960's regularly sell for $200.000 or more.

    Stud...

    "He nearly electrocuted himself to death at home in the 1940s, and in 1948 he was in a near-fatal car accident that shattered his right arm and elbow. But he famously told doctors to set it in the cast in a guitar-picking position so he could continue to play."

    RIP Les. My first really quality guitar was a LP Studio. Still have and love it.
    I'll ride the wave where it takes me.
