Martin Celmins wrote in his Peter Green Bio: "Mick went with Peter to buy him a replacement guitar-exactly the same kind of 1959 sunburst Les Paul that he had played in Fleetwood Mac, bought from a collector for $5,000. Peter was overjoyed to have it, yet shortly afterwards he gave it away to a stranger he met in the hotel lift who said he liked music.Peter V.K. , not unreasonably, freaked when he found out. Mercifully the beautiful 1959 Gibson was soon traced to the local pawnbrokers where its extremely temporary new owner - a hustler and space cadet - had promptly taken it to get a $200 more with which to score that day." Well, it was a 1960 and it changed hands for $2,500, not 5 grand, but that's not really that important. What's important is what happened to that guitar. If you want to know check out the July 2009 issue of Vintage Guitar Magazine (here in the US) or go to:www.myspace.com/greenysotherburst |

here's a bit more info on the guitar. I'd love to get a hold of PVK since he probably knows a bit more about the whereabouts of the guitar. Thanks
