"I'm Dez Dickerson, original guitarist with Prince. This is the 1972 Tobacco Sunburst Les Paul Custom I played in some of our classic early performances, including our historic first public appearance at the Capri Theater in Minneapolis, and our appearance on American Bandstand. I first purchased the guitar in 1975 (from my guitar tech, Spank, in the band I played in at the time, Revolver). I had DiMarzio pick-ups installed, including a center tap switch for the bridge pick-up so it was selectable between single and double coil. It was my main guitar from the day I bought it. I also played this guitar throughout my time with Prince, although I played it less frequently as my guitar collection grew (and I began to play Explorer-type customs as my main guitars).
In 2002, I was in the studio producing a band called Big Fat Jam, who were at the time signed to my record label. One of the guitarists accidentally knocked over his Paul and snapped off the headstock, and I decided to give him my cherished Les Paul to replace it. The guitar recently came back into my possession, and I've decided to make it available to discriminating collectors and/or fans that would appreciate its history.
The only additional modification done by the subsequent owner was to add gold pick-up covers and outer rings. Other than that, it's all just as it was when I first gave it away (every glorious scratch has a story behind it)."

poor guy...che tristezza!
¡Qué triste! Tener que deshacerte de algo así. Family 2.0 hacedle un hueco al chaval, hombre, que el pastel "yo estuve con Prince" da para uno más.
