They're just too valuable to be loaned out to every Tom, Dick, and Harry. Do you know how much a gold-top '57 Les Paul Standard costs?

I'll cut you a deal and sell you one at $120k, 'cause I have a couple. That's like a $15 to 20k discount.

Lemme find one for sale:

I'm not just loaning that shit out to Bob from Methville, Alabama because he's posted a bunch of stuff online.

Oh hell yeah. I understand that. I wouldn't want a guitar that's worth that much, nor would I want a car that worth a whole freaking lot too. I wouldn't want to damage it, so I would hardly use it.

I have a 1958 Sunburst signed by Les Paul himself. The guitar alone is $300 to $400k, sometimes more.

It's a piece of history - and, more importantly, it's a piece of history that still makes the same sound it did when it left the factory. I can pick it up and make the same sounds the players made during the very earliest days of rock and roll.

So, yeah... There's gotta be some goddamned standards for people who borrow the guitars. Which is kinda hard to put into words.

I'd love for them to still be played, appreciated, studied, and even recorded - long after I'm dead. But, putting it into words as to who gets to borrow the guitars and who doesn't isn't really easy.

After all, the greatest guitarists aren't all coming from institutes of higher musical learning. Many are, but not all of them.

you could possibly create an income renting them to people for recording purposes
