"Nielsen bought this 1958 Les Paul at Gruhn Guitars in Nashville. He says he never wipes it down and likes how dirty and used it looks. His tech, Rocky Robert, says Nielsen takes some of the nickel pickup covers off his humbuckers to get a hotter sound, but Nielsen insists he does it because it looks cool. Knowing Nielsenуs sense of humor, itуs hard to know which to believe!"
