Mentioned in 2023 Vintage Guitar rundown.

While working with Jimmy Cliff in ’69 he acquired a ’61 Gibson SG/Les Paul with sideways vibrola. He played it on Mott’s debut album before replacing it with a modified ’54 Les Paul with stop tailpiece and P-90 pickups on Mad Shadows.

Ralphs also mentioned SG/Les Paul Standard in a 2013 Music Radar interview, using it mainly during The Shakedown Sound era (between 1967 and 1968).
