Les Paul Custom Celebrity Owned

[FlyingFred67]

After meeting Matthias Jabs at the September 2013 Vintage Guitar Show in Munich
I was lucky to get his personal January 1969 Custom Les Paul meanwhile.

Awesome all original guitar which he used in this Scorpions Video
He told me that he also used this guitar for the recording of the song in the studio.

Still not a Burst but a great Vintage Les Paul leaning on my March 1969 Super Lead Plexi

My first small gig with my new lady

Nice. I used to own a '68 Custom. They are awesome tone machines.

I agree!! Although back in the 80's he was pretty well respected. His solo on "Rock You Like a Hurricane" won a lot of awards and open respect by others at the time. :dude: :dude:

Also, note a rocking LSLP top carve.

Mike and Rudy would have turned into a sibling rivalry. Jabs sees things as a song, and "how bad^ss can I be while still taking the song somewhere it needs to go.

Sorry for quoting myself. ..it's more like...
How bad^ass can I make this song and still let people know I'm a bad^ss!

His playing on the entire Blackout album won him a lot of respect. That is one great album. I also really liked their more recent album Humanity Hour One Record a lot... Woefully underrated...He is a monster player. Plays a nice variety of gear...
