This is the Les Paul I ran over with the family Chevy station wagon. I had taken the guitar out to the car, leaned it against the back of the car ... and then Barry said, "move the car up to the porch, so we don't have to schlep the amps and drums so far." I get behind the wheel, put it into reverse, and .... CRUNCH! Oops. A year or so later, I bought another Les Paul ... which was eventually stolen. I'm thinking that the next electric guitar I buy won't be a Les Paul. Thanks to Jim Dandy for the photo.

There is some ghostly action going on down in the corner. Was that motel haunted? hmmmmm...
The ghosts are greedy for that Budweiser. Sorry, Buddy, that Bud's for me!
That was a nice guitar, though. I wish I hadn't crushed it with the Chevy. My second Les Paul wasn't nearly as nice. It just never seemed right.
