Peter Green's other 59 Les Paul
Hi, Folks
Peter Green had another late 50's sunburst, bought for him by Mick Fleetwood in the late 70's. Peter had the choice of 3 killer Les Pauls and he picked one with a replacement neck. That guitar is pictured in Martin Celmins PG autobiography.Peter supposedly really loved that guitar because it was just like his old one, but later gave it to a homeless man in an elevator. Mick Fleetwood then recovered the guitar and that's where the story becomes murky. My friend and I went to Lloyds of London's Germany office in 1984 to look and buy 2 guitars, a 52 and a 58 (?) Les Paul that had been recoverd in a police raid and where in the possession of the insurance company. Now, 25 years later I posted pics of them on the Les Paul Forum (www.lespaulforum.com) under "vintage Les Pauls-recognize these beauties? and got a great response. My friend's guitar is that guitar, formerly owned by Peter Green.I am trying to find out what happened after Mick Fleetwood got it back from the pawnshop in LA. Any help is greatly appreciated. Thanks Werner |

Peter Green's other vintage Les Paul
I found out a lot of stuff about Peter Green's Les Paul he owned in the late 70's. It actually was a 1960, formerly owned by Paul Warren ( currently with Rod Steward) that Mick Fleetwood bought for Peter in LA. It has a replacement neck with the original fingerboard and inlays. It's pictured in Robb Lawrence's new book "The Les Paul Legacy 1915-63 "on page 241.
What's still unknown is what happened to it after PG got it. Did he give it away? Did he sell it. Did he record and perform with it? What's the scoop? Werner |
