Gary Moore
When Gary Moore was in possession of the guitar it was broken when he cracked up is car in a crash. The guitar was pieced back together. He has two or three other Les Pauls, assorted Strats and boutique guitars. It doesn't matter what people say when they receive gifts. When they own them it is their possession. This one got him a lot of money regardless of the fact that he paid Peter the amount Gary received for selling his Gibson SG. That was the price Peter asked, and thay Gary would give it back if Peter ever wanted it. (Peter knew that even if the 59 Les Paul was not Peter's personal guitar, it would have fetched a far greater dollar amount, even back then.)
side note: Gibson just released recreation of Michael Bloomfield's 59 les Paul and they were immediatly sold out at a $10,ooo price tag. It was not even Michael's favorite guitar. Michael also bought his after hearing Clapton in England. They never released a Freddy King Les Paul. King was the reason the brits were buying the Les Paul in the first place.
