Additionally, there is a forum post I’ve included an address for with an ad mentioning Paul Rudolph played a Les Paul Junior that was stolen. It then indicates he borrowed a Les Paul Deluxe before saying he finally got a Custom. It contains comment by Paul Rudolph himself.

FuzzBoxes.Org’s article on the WEM Project V not only includes a picture of Paul Rudolph using a WEM Project V on stage (1969), but says Rudolph “confirmed by private correspondence…” that it was his Project V that became Brian Eno’s signature fuzz. The picture shows him using it with The Deviants.

In this photo from a Paul Rudolph forum, Paul can be SEEN holding his Gibson Les Paul Custom. Additionally, in another forum post linked to Paul Rudolph here, Paul and others Comment about Paul playing a Junior, a gold Deluxe and then a Custom.

Unfortunately, we are not allowed to produce more than one source of evidence per piece of equipment or I would post both here.
