Description

A 1973 Les Paul owned by Michael Britt of the band Lone Star. The guitar comes with a signed letter from Michael chronicling his use of the guitar on tour and recording songs like "Lonely Grill". This guitar was on the road and played for years giving it a fair bit of play love and patina. The guitar plays incredibly well and sounds great. Michael recently removed the Bigsby and the locking tuners in exchange for gold Klusons. A legendary Custom with a third pickup added in the middle position. This guitar is ready to rock and carry on a legacy playing for decades to come.

Comes in Gibson chainsaw case.
