Thanks ;-)
The maple leafs hat is a dead give away. Glad they included it in the description.
North of $250,000 for a ‘59 Sunburst.
Stealy Dan = steal-y is the joke. Steal.
Stealy Dan is also the nickname of a dildo, but don’t think that was what the author was intending.
Countdown to Ecstasy?
It’s all over my head. I can see wanting a special guitar owned by an iconic guitarist. But afaic the old ones are not one bit better than the new ones. Add in the terrible tuning stability of a Les Paul and the fascination passes me by.
The tune-o-matic Bridge is garbage. They are heavy too. But they sound great.
All my guitars have Floyd Rose on them so I’m used to tuning instability.
