Some fantastic pics of the Gibson Les Paul that was used by Keith and Mick T
during the 1972/73 tour and for some Exile recordings.
These pics are new to me. Beg your pardon if they've been posted here before.

Looks like he used the back tone knob a lot based in this pic.

Go Dawgs!

Taylor "pre-owned" it? Did he ever graduate to actually owning it? Nice axe though...

Taylor already owned it pre-Stones when he was in John Mayal's Bluesbreakers.
Guess that is what they meant.

Which guitar is this then? The one he used with the BB was stolen. This looks like what is called 'The Claw', used by Richards in '72 and by Taylor in '73 and ever afterwords, until he sold it in the mid-80's.

Really? This guitar is not the Bigsby Burst that Mick obtained from the Stones camp in 1967. So far as I know the only Burst Mick had was the Bigsby Burst up until the time it "disappeared" around 1970-71. The guitar pictured here is "The Claw" as Mathijs calls it and was used extensively by Keith in 1972 and by Mick from 1973 until at least 1984 when he toured with Dylan. Cool pics!

I think the "pre" in this case means previously.

No...I'm pretty sure it means he had it on layaway
