And what country can preserve its liberties if their rulers are not warned from time to time that their people preserve the spirit of resistance? Let them take arms. The remedy is to set them right as to facts, pardon and pacify them. What signify a few lives lost in a century or two? The tree of liberty must be refreshed from time to time with the blood of patriots and tyrants.
I love that STP sticker! What a flashback. When I was a kid AJ Foyt's sister lived down the street and when he would come and visit he always had STP stickers to pass out to the neighborhood kids.
That isn't a Gold Top. It's what is now called a Les Paul "Burst", with a highly figured maple top in a sunburst finish.
ReplyDeleteIf that is an original of the 1958 thru 1960 "Holy Grail" variety, the current price tag is in the mid six figures.
Those old Gibson tube amps sounded pretty good too.
Basically a similar model in terms of music as the gold top? They look rather similar in dimensions and shape.

ReplyDeleteAm I missing something? What STP sticker?
DeleteA Gold Top's top was painted gold. Basically the same guitar, different finish. If they're of that "Holy Grail" vintage, they're worth almost as much.

Yes, very good. That rig will cost between $10k and $200k depending on details.
