Paul Kossoff / Arthur Ramm Les Paul Std.

Paul Kossoff Les Paul Guitar Feature.


Lovely article on Paul Kossoff's old Les Paul in the August 2015 edition of 'Guitar And Bass' (Vol26. No. 11) £4.99. Written by the excellent Steve Clarke, himself a Kossoff fan, it goes deep into the specifications and technical aspects as the guitars current owner Arthur Ramm let Steve have a really good look at the instrument. For the guitar collector / fan there are plenty of close up pictures and a quite revealing text. Thanks to Steve and 'Guitar And Bass' magazine for letting me include a link to the feature below. Check it out!!

Steve has told me there was actually a small piece of information about the guitar edited out of the article so for blogspot readers here's the exclusive...

The neck pickup is 8.52k and the bridge 7.43k. For better balance they should be swapped around but that's how Koss had it and that's okay by me!!
