    Midnight at the Oasis?

    Fascinating interview. Very enjoyable. I’m not particularly a fan of the band, but this was riveting. Thanks for posting it.

    Rick Nielsen of Cheap Trick's guitars

    Good question. I can’t imagine him not being able to tell. I can’t imagine that it’s never been brought to his attention. I can’t imagine him not knowing by now, even in the event that he acquired it back in the day thinking it was a burst. It’s a puzzler.

    1960 Classics - years of manufacture?

    A forum member worked on (and posted pics of) a celebrity owned 1989 Classic, so we know that they exist. I owned a 1990 all gold, and they were common in stores from that point on. “Les Paul Model” on the headstock, thin binding in the cutaway. The other colors I remember seeing were cherry...
