Some of you probably lie awake at night asking yourselves 'What ever happened to that Sunburst Les Paul that Keith played during the '72 tour and which later wound up in the capable hands of Mick Taylor?" I know I do. Anyway, I don't really have an answer but I did come across what appears to be these fairly recent pics of what could be called the 2nd Keith/Mick Burst on the Les Paul forum. Apparently the guitar resides (or resided) in England until recently. I wish I knew more but perhaps some of you do. Here it is for your perusal. Below is Keith with the guitar in '1972:
And as it appeared sometime in the more recent past:

When you put a capo on guitar,it might get a bit out of tune because a capo is
a mechanical thing...

What the capo does is put pressure on the strings between the frets where it is applied and so depending on how high the frets are and how much pressure the capo exerts the strings can go slightly sharp. It's like lightly bending them.
