WildHawk......Thanks for the photos of the Black Les Paul !
Chip.............WOW ! I actually sent the link to this thread to several guitar buddies. That's amazing.
Neil Young is one of my favorite musicians/guitar players. My wife, my inlaws and I just saw the Freedom of Speech show in Milwaukee from the 8th row. It was fantastic. 3 1/2 hour show! When Neil and Steven Stills did an acoustic D-28 duet of Tree Top Flyer the screaming was just mind blowing.
Neil dragged out the end of Rockin in the Free World untill he broke all 6 strings on the black Les Paul. He was on fire.
Considering Neil's recent surgery and the death of his father not too long ago, the show and energy that he put forward was amazing. Neil is a sincere,soulful and honest musician. He can put many 22 year olds to shame. The Prarie Wind CD is a favorite of mine. I've seen Neil over 10 times in the last 15 years. The 2000 tour with the Pretenders was one of the most entertaining shows that I've seen.
I want to see a Martin D-28 Signature guitar with a Lionell Electric Train on the head stock! If the price could be under $5,000.00, I'd work weekends for years to pay one off.
