Synchronicity...? I recently posted this song in the 'What are you listening to?' thread.


The Midnight Special YT channel has been posting in chronological order [for the most part], so it's 1975 all over again!


...

There's was discussion about the whereabouts of this one, ties to Gary Moore, litigation, etc.

Who's got the most recent update? Thanks!

Are those Bigsby holes near the bridge?

It's this one, the 58 STP, correct..? You can see the red near tail strap pin, where the Bigsby was...

[SOLD] 1958 GIBSON LES PAUL STANDARD “MONTROSE / STP-BURST”
This guitar is a legend. They gave it many names… the STP Burst, The Ronnie Montrose Burst, The Peter Weihe Burst and at some point it became Collector’s Choice CC#28. It comes with a big book of provenance, it’s famous for that killer Les Paul tone especially of the first Montrose record (Rock Candy!) and has been played of thousands(!) of European and international songs, some very well known tracks have been recorded with this guitar. It’s back where it came from a few years ago – GuitarPoint has been it’s caretaker for a while and now you can own a true piece of history. What an amazing Les Paul it is. Call for further details.

Yeah, that's gotta be it, the 2 small holes above and below the tp aren't filled on the 31sec clip, you can see them at about :19 (look fast)

Great posts BTW, lots on info on that guitar👍
