Was there any documentation or proof? Or was it just the usual 'sure a friend of mine knew a guy, who knew a lad, who knew his friend who said he owned it.'

Who pre owned it?

Nope !

My G&L was apparently owned by Eamon de Valera.

Pre owned by Slash - if it were mine, it would go on display, not for playing.

I'd play it. It's a nice story and all but there's no real grounds behind it to make it a massive collectors item, it's more of an awesome guitar with a cool story behind. I hate when guitars are used as pieces of memorabilia, they're made to be played, not hung on a wall and looked at.

No, this gets played & played & played
Ive had a Les Paul fetish ever since i saw Jimmy Page & Thin Lizzy as a kid & is the best one I've played out of a very long list
Ill never sell it regardless of whether it is or isn't
The guitar has been refinished twice so has no real value as such,
but its nice to have a bit of a story to go along with it whether its true or false
I only put the story up for the few in the conversation & have always been hesitant about posting it !

[Ravelleman]

I wouldn't worry too much about the story! It sounds cool and if you love the guitar it doesn't really matter anyway.

Ovation Celebrity electro/acoustic,
Hybrid Gigging guitar - Old Squier neck (one of the nicest 'strat' necks I have played) on a solid ash body with Khaler trem & all new hardware/pickups,
Gibson SG Standard (just bought from Waltons last week),
Gibson Les Paul Artisan (got new in 1977)
Cheap & Nasty Columbus 'Jazz Bass' from way back (new pickups fitted & works fine for home recordings).

That squire is the sexiest shade of purple. Sell her to me, PLEASE.

Amp is a Laney Lionheart 5-watters. Pedals are Polytune (washed out in the photo), Timmy (kind of washed out), BAT Pharaoh, CoPilot Polypus and a Flashback delay.

That is very sexy. I am very jealous...
