Steve, I assume you already have the back story about this piece. Les Paul had asked me to make an extra one for the Smithsonian, because they had promised him a shared wing with Thos. Edison. So I hung on to that one for him. He had the other one in his kitchen for years, but someone absconded with it after he (Les) passed away. I was asked by Julien's of Beverley Hills to send mine to the Les Paul Estate Auction, but declined. So now it is still here on display for all who visit to see. I will try to send you some photos of other items of mine that were sold at that auction. Les was Donna's and my close Friend for many years. We have plenty of info and photos to confirm this "gilded Les Paul guitar piece. It is done in silver with 23K gold encrusting from behind the glass. A must for any serious collector. As a special price for you, I am asking 6000USD for this item. I hope you are well, and staying safe during these horrible fires. Also hoping the US is chipping in some of our forces to help get them under control. ~~Robbie~~ PH 315 960 1774
