Peter Green at his best





The original Black Magic Woman

Thanks for posting those Peter Green clips. His life has certainly had its ups and downs. Presumably during one of the downs he sold that guitar to Gary Moore who used it for many years until he died. The guitar now belongs to an American collector, but he has sent it back to be looked after in Britain because that is where it spent its working life and he thinks that's where it should remain.

It's a 59 LP. It had a unique sound because, for whatever reason, the pick ups are wired out of phase (well, technically the pole pieces are jumbled north / south). You can actually buy similar pick ups from people who have worked that out pretty well. From memory, Kirk Hammett of Metallica owns the Peter Green Les Paul? I'm sure someone will correct me eventually. I have an original unmolested 54 Les Paul gold top that I'm taking up to the states soonish to pass it over to the new owner. There's something very special about some of the first generation of Les Pauls.

Further confirming my nerd status, Joe Bonamassa has an incredible collection of Les Pauls - and he owns probably the best collection of tweeds as well. I think he is solely responsible for the resurgence of guitar values recently. There are videos on YouTube that show his house and his stupendous collection of old stuff.

There is a good Youtube clip of an interview with Bernie Marsden mainly about his Les Paul which is named "The Beast". When Bonamassa was in the UK he called Marsden on the phone and asked could he borrow the guitar. The "special" nature is mentioned in the interview. I hadn't heard of Marsden but he's been around since the early 70s so I bought his latest allbum on the strength of the interview, it's not flashy but I like it.

I follow Bonamassa on Facebook, he often posts photos or video clips. He got thrown out of a hotel for firing up and recording a new acquisition not so long ago.
