on 07/14/2009 		"My main guitar is my 1956 Les Paul." I have one question: how can so many guitarists own 1956 Les Pauls? Are some of them sharing their guitar? :) Does anyone know how many were made?

on 07/07/2009 		Incredible Guitars! Mind Boggling , I will definately check out your web site and possibly purchase your book. THANK you for sharing such a cool a diverse (part) of your guitar collection. (Can I have one ?) just kidding of course :) What is great is that you use these guitars and not hoard them and put them in a climate controlled case where nobody will see them, Peace David in Ohio
