Acknowledgements:

To all the people who have contributed patience, information, and time: I am very grateful. Not a word of this site, whether correct or not (lol), could have been written without a basis in data that you provided.

To the users of a certain well known internet bulletin board (which are sometimes referred to as 'forums' ;) ), a huge pile of thanks. Thanks for the GAS. If you are a Les Paul fan and are here reading this site, you owe it to yourself to give this site a try.

To a certain company based in Memphis and Nashville, thanks for the Historic line, but fix the color of your P-90 covers on your GT's.

To 'Wilko' and Vince.

To 'Uncle Johnny' for the garage sale find (559,xxx) that enabled me to own my dream guitar when I didnt deserve it. If anyone has a contact for an affordable 34 Ford, let me know.

To the rest of my "enablers", thanks.

To Jeff Hanneman and Kerry King.
