This guitar was Bolan's most used guitar. It was a 'Chablis' coloured Les Paul, but is presumed by many to have originally been sunburst or a goldtop, refinished orange and then to the most well-known 'Chablis' colour. The original neck broke sometime in the 70's and was replaced with a Les Paul Custom neck. It was used up until his death in 1977.
