Item Details
Description
A 1/2 sized acoustic that Les Paul signed to the lead guitarist of Guns N' Roses, Slash. Les had been friendly with Slash and especially appreciated the fact that the musician was working on a modified Les Paul. Les Paul loved that the younger generations of guitarists were using Les Paul guitars, and he tried to keep updated on what new and younger musicians were producing.

Lester William Polsfuss was an inventor and musician. A talented musician as well as inventor, Les Paul is credited with various recording innovations and his skilled guitar playing, however he is probably best known for helping to design the Gibson Les Paul.

The consigner of these items, Ron Lovely, worked directly with Les Paul and was the one to bring various guitars that Les had signed to the artists they were meant for. The two men, who were friends for 20 years, began their "guitars to stars" tradition over a beer one night. This started off a tradition of artists giving guitars to each other - something Les did frequently - as well as artists signing and giving guitars to Ron Lovely, as he was a part of the network of friendly artists.
