Gibson Les Paul Standard, 1958 ‘Darkburst’

This is the 1958 Gibson Les Paul Standard that Eric used chiefly as a back-up to the Firebird during the Farewell tour of America last in 1968.  It subsequently ended up in the hands of Paul Kossoff of Free, and can be seen being played by him on several videos online.
