I wonder were he got the money to sustain his addiction later,he had several xpensive guitars in the 80 tees&90tees,but a heavy drug-addict until 1995?
Mathijs, is there any truth to this statement that a lot of the early reisue (68,69)les pauls body's left over . to me this would be news . never heard that one before .one thing that i do know the 68,69 ,and 70 les paul necks had no volute on the back of the headstock .so that's one difference .maybe you can offer your analysis please ?Quote

Yeah. That's a trip. It's like a bixby which i don't dig either but you can take them off just like a strat Whammy bar. I knew the sg were called les pauls that's what i meant it was a weird couple of years Les Paul did that but thats why he brought back the original because he knew they were the SH**. He had a bunch of the body's left from the fifties and a lot of 1968 and 69 pauls are the real deal like Woody Black 68 my brother has one it sounds unbelievable.
While you wait for Mathijs to my best of my knowledge the first '68 Gold Top reissues were made from left over Les Paul bodies from the 50's. Not so sure about after 1968 though...Quote

Taylor sold all his guitars in the early 80's to sustain his drug addiction. The '73 Euro guitar is now owned by a member of the LP forum.

A vintage LP sold for $10K to $30K in '83 and about $150K to $250K these days. Taylor has played regular production LP's in the 80's and '90's that cost $1500 the most, and he's playing a Historic 1959 Reissue these days, costing about $4000.
I understand that he sold his entire collection in the early 80's, which included a Nocaster, a ES-355, several Strats and a SG, all vintage.

Taylor and Richards also used to share guitars, which can make it hard to follow what happened. Taylor has said in interviews it has always mystified him why Keith wanted to sell his (Bigsby equipped) Les Paul Standard in '67 (a few years later, he still seemed to like it). Unfortunately this guitar was not found back and re-united with its rightful owner (MT), after it got nicked from Nellcote.
If there are guitar traders that claim they have a vintage Les Paul that was once owned by Mick Taylor then they must have bought it from a third party. Maybe the person that paid the burglars/thieves for the instrument ? If they didn't buy it directly from the person that stole it - buying something that you know must have been stolen (a guitar trader should be suspicious when the asking price is a fraction of the real value) is a criminal offence, by the way.

I hope someone sees this question in here, but I didn't want to start a whole new thread:
in the song "Dance Little Sister" when Taylor takes the solo, he uses what IMO sounds like a whammy bar. And I also always thought the guitar he is playing sounds much like a LP. I can not think of what kind of guitar that he was playing in that time would fit that description.
I was wondering that myself. close ups from the 100 Club gig show alot of wear around the headstock and the black bakelite that was on the Bigsby is worn off. It's not the the original 'Keith' burst Mick originally purchased in 1967 but it certainly looks vintage. Could a relic'd Gibon Historic. If anyone knows please pass it along!Quote

Definitely sounds like a Strat on DLS
That's the fist time I've seen MT with a LP+Bigsby recently. Is it a reissue or vintage?

He plays his '63 sunburst Strat with rosewood board, switch in second position.

How is he getting that fat sound from a single coil ? I really thought it was a Humbucker. Maybe I should post in the "headphones/concerts" thread on Pg 1.

Well, a good single coil can be as loud, or even louder than a bucker. A 11 kOhm Broadcaster lead pickup is a louder screamer than a 7.2 kOhm vintage PAF. Listen to the first Zep album -recorded with a Tele. The rosewood board helps as well, as it takes of the edges of the single coil sound.
Amp here sounds like a Deluxe Reverb btw.
