The chain (see what I did there?
) of ownership of that particular Les Paul:Peter Green -> Gary Moore -> Kirk Hammett

Yes I did, however I believe you are a generation late. That song was on Rumors.....Oh Well, you tried. See what I did there?
I understand the romanticism of vintage guitars, especially 1950's era Gibsons and Fenders but they are overrated. The Gibsons especially, have very thick necks and thin frets. I'll take my 1976 LP Custom over those any day.
Like I said, I completely understand the desire to own one, but I could be a gazillionaire and wouldn't drop 100 G's or more on a piece of wood, paint , wiring and metal no matter who owned it.

Yes, I did.
I was intentionally a generation late - hoping someone would take a swing....
(For those that don't know "Oh Well" was redone/covered by Rumours-era Fleetwood Mac, but was written by Peter Green.)

Someone paid either $75,000, or 75,000 English Pounds....see what I did there?....for the Gibson SG, with P90's, that he played on the Tommy tour. I forgot what year it was. If I was wealthy, that's something I truly would consider...but it would be a wall hanging, after I fiddled around with it for a couple of hours. There aren't many guitars I would buy, that would be put under glass...but that is one I would spend the cash on.
The reality is, most guys are going to hotrod their guitar anyway, so unless you're a wealthy collector, or you make your living with that guitar, I can't see it either...I would buy a nice used 70's-90's, and swap out pick ups, and set it up to my liking. There are so many fucking choices when it comes to pick ups, it's actually a little ridiculous.

I have been watching a numbr of these "Fender Custom Shop" videos this year, and what boggles me is that guitarists let them build exact copies of thei guitar - but let the people in the Custom Shop include all the dirt, the marks on the edges etc, instead asking them to build a copy, but let it look clean and fresh.
Here is an example
I would definetly have them make an instrument without the dirt and fresh laquer.
Regarding buying classic Gibsons and Fenders etc.: I guess it is a good way to invest in them, to sell them later with an interest.

I really don't like Fender guitars. I love their basses, and they make good amps, but I never really got into the whole single coil bright and brittle sound their pick ups usually provide. I do like several guitar players that use them however. I do like the sound of the P90's Gibson used, Alinco makes them....or some variation of those letters arranged to spell a similar word!
I think the whole weathered look goes with wanting an old classic, but not being able to afford one.

I think that is supposed to be an impersonation of John Lennon
I believe they are the same person. John went underground to pursue his bodybuilding career, and also his got tired of Yoko, that ugly japanese bitch real fast.
