>> Am I the only one that listened to him before this LP when he fronted Frampton’s Camel?

Nope, I was a fan of Frampton's Camel and Humble Pie before that.

> I thought his best years were with Humble Pie. Their final concert at Long Beach Area in the 70's (help, I'm getting old) was fantastic. How did our ears survive those days.

Mine didn't. I've got deafening tinnitus. Drives me insane.

I've got a guitar of the same model, a 2000 Les Paul Custom Black Beauty Triple. Looks just like this, only in focus:

Sweetest working guitar in my collection. Also have early-60's SG and MelodyMaker, and some others... But the Black Beauty is the top of the heap.

looks liked he ruined a fine vintage guitar by putting
on diMarzio replacement pick-ups. No class

I’ll take Lester or Chet anyday

Your black beauty looks wonderful, btw
I’ve had mine for about 10 years, and have never adjusted the neck once! Fine example of American craftsmanship
ATF will get mine over my dead body
