TalismanRich Posted August 15, 2009 Share Posted August 15, 2009 I was watching the local news last night and they had a short story about Les Paul. As they went through a series of photos, there was the Parsons St factory, just as we saw it a couple of weeks ago. Too cool. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Steiner Posted August 15, 2009 Share Posted August 15, 2009 Where is this? By the looks of the windows, I'd say it was taken on one of the upper floors of the Parsons St. facility. I enjoyed this Chico, Nice find! Thanks for posting! Love the comment on Marv's picture / article! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

chico Posted August 15, 2009 Author Share Posted August 15, 2009 just so you all know, I've got dibs on the LP when Marv doesn't want it anymore! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sparky Posted August 16, 2009 Share Posted August 16, 2009 just so you all know, I've got dibs on the LP when Marv doesn't want it anymore! Now THATS a Gibson worth having, and actually worth the investment. I read an article over at Ultimate Guitar about Les, and its funny how he describes CEO's who will tell you what customers want, but won't humble themselves to actually work behind the counter at a music store for a month to find out what customers REALLY want. His relationship with Gibson was not always a rosey one. Les Paul is probably one of the few people who lived a long time and enjoyed most of it. I'd bet Gibson had Les Paul sign a limited number of "Tribute" guitars which will now go on sale. My guess, $100K each. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The money will probably go straight to the Henry J retirement account. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
