"I was taking guitar lessons at Wellesby House of Music in Farmington, Michigan. Word spread that Les Paul was coming in to demonstrate his new line of guitars. This was in 1961 and of course we all showed up to meet Les and see the event. Surprisingly not more than 25 people came and we had a good chance to meet and talk to Les. What a Gentleman. It seemed like we had all the time in the world to spend with him. At any rate, I loved the white custom and the red SG both, but the cost of the Custom was beyond our means. I was only 14, playing clubs and weddings. So my dad purchased the guitar for me and I was to repay him.... At that time I had a Les Paul Jr and it was traded for the SG.
