[www.youtube.com] How in the world does the Hard Rock end up possessing this most famous and iconic Vintage 1958 or 1959 Gibson Sunburst Les Paul that the guy from the Hard Rock said is the Sunburst that Charlie Watts held in his hands on the cover of Get Yer Ya Ya's Out ? Someone please explain this to me because this is one of the most iconic and instantly identifiable Les Paul's in the history of mankind .The Hard Rock guy said it has the infamous snake eyes from the Bigsby Vibrato .I just don't get something with such a pedigree is not in the Stones vault , arsenal or warehouse of vintage guitars like no one else has in the world .The Stones from the time of Brian Jones had the BEST guitars in the world and still do . John 5 is handed the guitar to play and he promptly starts playing Keith's opening riffs to CYHMK ,which he plays it decently .

Although they possess the stuff, they may not own the stuff. I read regularly of stuff being donated, loaned, given but not much is ever said about the actual transfer of ownership. Those Hard Rock Cafe's sometimes have a museum-like quality to them. I know I have seen much more cool stuff in various Hard Rock Cafe's than I ever will at the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame.
Now... don't get me wrong, when I go to see Exhibitism in Nashville, I'll be wishing the Ya-Ya's guitar was there as opposed to at a Hardrock somewhere.
Also:
This video appeas as up next when playing the one linked above and claims to have John 5 playing Brian Jones' Teardrop Vox in addition to some other iconic guitars including the Ya-Ya's guitar. I wish I could tell you what time the Vox makes it's appearance but I haven't actually watched it and am only going by what's listed in the description.
Peace,
