Les Paul Custom (serial no. 7 7277)
1957
Gibson
After the Rolling Stones' infamous drug arrest in February 1967, the band took a break from performing, and at some point Keith Richards decorated this guitar using paint pens, creating a colorful abstract design on the body and silver stars on the controls. The instrument appeared in the Jean-Luc Godard film Sympathy for the Devil (1968), which explores that song's writing and recording process during the Beggars Banquet sessions. It was also used in The Rolling Stones Rock and Roll Circus (1968, released on film in 1996). |
