Description
An acoustic guitar that Les Paul signed to Robert Plant, of Led Zeppelin. Les Paul chose this particular acoustic because he thought that it would be like a guitar that Plant or Page would have growing up as a teenager in England.
Les was a fan of British rock, and loved artists like the Beatles, the Rolling Stones, Jeff Beck, and Eric Clapton. He was always aware of what guitars the British Invasion artists were playing, what amps they were using, and how these artists were innovating and changing the music that came before them.
Les eventually became friendly with various British stars, and Jimmy Page was a friend of his. The consigner delivered a handful of guitars from Paul to Led Zeppelin. Some of them reached the band, this was one that never reached Plant.
Lester William Polsfuss was an inventor and musician. A talented musician as well as inventor, Les Paul is credited with various recording innovations and his skilled guitar playing, however he is probably best known for helping to design the Gibson Les Paul.
The consigner of these items, Ron Lovely, worked directly with Les Paul and was the one to bring various guitars that Les had signed to the artists they were meant for. The two men, who were friends for 20 years, began their "guitars to stars" tradition over a beer one night. This started off a tradition of artists giving guitars to each other _ something Les did frequently _ as well as artists signing and giving guitars to Ron Lovely, as he was a part of the network of friendly artists.
