he tries to find out if an LP -- considered the closest thing to a perfect guitar by many -- has ever sold for seven figures. I'm placing my order for the book with Amazon as soon as I finish this sentence. A football player and a guitar are one thing; a politician and a guitar are another thing altogether. But last week in Washington, keyboardist Chuck Leavell, who's been a regular with the Allman Brothers, the Fabulous Thunderbirds and, for a long time now, the Rolling Stones, recently brought Minnesota Representative Collin Peterson onstage to play on "Brown Sugar" and "Dead Flowers" at a benefit for the American Forest Foundation. If you don't believe me, see it here.

People rave about the '59 Les Paul, but I personally would love a '60, by which time Gibson had slimmed down the neck profile a bit more. I could probably not get my mitts around a '59 neck - Jimmy Page shaved his down. Then, in 1961, the Les Paul became the SG. It does rather limit our options.
