it may say les paul on the head stock, but its an sg body no one cares if it says les paul, you can still get em with les paul mode on em

[yogithecamel]

@ginfox91 It says les paul because SGs originally said Les Paul on them. It must be an original. Les Paul didn't like the SG and asked that his name be removed.

Queen Latifah looks and sounds just like her. My opinion. But you know I'm right.

I listened to Sister Rosetta way back in the 50s and loved it then and I still love her! Best antidote to depression ever invented!

Sister Rosetta, I'm 54 years old. Where the hecky heck have you been all my life? Why have I never heard of you?

rosetta tharpe teach the guitar to chuk berry and jimy hendrix

@b3erni3 It is an attempt to be accurate in regards to history. It may not be important to you as to which guitar she played, however it is to many other people. Rosetta Tharpe is an important figure in the progression of American musical styles.

@bugsycline Absolutely correct about the Les Paul. I owned a red, two pickup 61 Les Paul that had the SG body style many years ago. There are a lot of ignorant people out there. Too bad you became the target of someone's mental instability.

im quite sure the sg she is playing was later passed on to jimi hendrix.
