I thought you might like to see my 2 Gibsons, these belonged to my brother before he passed away in 1990, he loved these guitars and drove me crazy playing guns & roses tunes(cool at that time) when I would visit him, hearing sweat child of mine at 5am with a hang over is enough to drive anyone crazy,anyway, the blonde is a 1968 I think, I know the black is a 1989, I need to clean these up and take some lessons, I may bring these to the rumble if someone would be interested in tuning and playing them, It's a shame to leave them in the cases for all these years, thought you would enjoy seeing them, thanks for a great site, Kevin

Kevin,

Those Les Pauls are really awesome. The LP was always my favorite - it all started when I saw Slash playing one as a kid. Just love the tone and the feel of them. The Custom is unlike any other too - thanks for sharing the pictures!

Thanks Greg/Talon, the very last pictures I have of my brother are of us both with these guitars, he was killed in a car crash 1 month later, I know these are only material items but there's not enough money to buy these, I've had lots of offers to buy them but my brother would come back and haunt me by playing that damn sweet child of mine to me every morning :D Kevin

Kevin,

That's terrible... I am sorry about your brother. I can understand how special items like those become. They are a part of who he was. If you need help setting them up, I would always be glad to help. Take good care of those babies - they will last forever.

Greg
