it's great that he could still jam in the age of 93...!

by the way,is that a les paul black beauty?

[corcare]

No. He plays a LP Recorder, a modification by himself to make the LP a better guitar, according to his taste. A black beauty is the name of some nice black Gibson LP:s from the late -50s (or possibly -60s)

[corcare]

With a dig. camera it was no big problem.

@CJshizzlefuck: Let's see how you'll hold your guitar when you're 93.

Because of his accident, that's the only way he can hold his guitar.

When a person continues to play at 93 it is because this is his life; music gives him the desire to never stop reaching for the stars and a hope for a better tomorrow.

@CJshizzlefuck lmfao, he's holding it in the style of a classical guitar player. It does not hinder your playing ability in the least.

@corcare Some of the recorder models had a great feature Les introduced: low impedance outputs. The Low impedance output (when matched at the amp) facilitated better fidelity and less noise over longer cable runs.
