Hurwood purchased the Les Paul from Jonny Buckland after working closely with him for three months in Europe and a month in the US. From late 2004-2005, this guitar travelled with Coldplay on the X&Y tour. According to Hurwood, Buckland used the guitar for several soundchecks, but it never appeared on stage with Coldplay.
