Re: Paul Kossoff Les Paul at aution

The guys on the Les Paul Forum were bugging Joe to buy this. People like spending Joe's money wink It's the one where the neck broke long ago. From Joe's comments on that forum, he didn't appear interested in it especially since he just bought that beautiful '58 V "Amos".

Yea Natasha, I saw that on the LP forum. Some were saying he should buy it, others were saying that Joe is buying all the good old LPs, leaving none for regular folk. They can be a bit crazy over there at times. But if I were Joe, and I was interested in the Kossoff guitar, I wouldn't advertise it.

Re: Paul Kossoff Les Paul at aution

As long as Joe knows about it, I'm happy. As for those that complain about Joe's collection, tough nuts! There's no "fairness" laws. The beauty of these gems going to Joe is that they will be loved and cared for, as well as played. And Tash, nobody needs to help Joe spend money on gear. It's a natural tendency with him. lol Just follow him on Instagram smile

Yeah, I don't think Joe needs any help. He's a man who knows what he wants, and if he deems it worthy and wants it, he will buy it.

Re: Paul Kossoff Les Paul at aution

I spoke to Joe at recent Meet and Greet and asked him and he said categorically that he wasn't interested, but hoped that Arthur gets a fair price for it.  He mentioned a figure that he thought it would go for, but probably not my place to say what that figure was.

this is the mylespaul forum thread if anybody is interested:

Hope this guitar does find its way into a players hands and not a collector who locks it up in a case.

Thanks for the link! I forgot how much I enjoy reading that forum. It also reminded me of how one idiot can cause lots of problems, buy it always seems to get handled well on that site. Please let me know the going price. Fingers crossed it goes to a loving home where it will be played wink

Re: Paul Kossoff Les Paul at aution

Hey the neck was broke it must not quite be right. With all the beautiful ladies that are in Joes corral why have one with that had its neck broke? Yeah I know PKs guitar yes I would love it but man I am sure they will ask absolute silly stupid money. His Skinner is a sick guitar. What action and tone even not plugged in. Still it will be interesting to see what PKs sells for

Re: Paul Kossoff Les Paul at aution

This is the link for the discussion from the Les Paul Forum. The guys on here always seem a bit more civil than the My Les Paul forum and they have a great sense of humor.  Joe calls himself Joe Broke-a-massa big_smile
