The guitar was custom made by Gibson for Mark Bolan who was essentially T-Rex, who died in a car crash at a young age. Gibson made a few more of those guitars to the exact same specs and they are highly prized for their tone and playability. ‘57 Les paul I believe. You probably cant find one for less than $10k now. Used.
Bang a Gong man!
Here is one. Made in 2012 but specs are ‘57.
A little of topic...oops.
Marc Bolan, like Mr. Lincoln before him, had frequent premonitions of his own death. He knew he was going to die very young
