I bought that guitar\u2026 I guess it had been around Boston. Different people had it and sold it, and then I came across it \u2014 and for a good price! I can\u2019t remember what I paid for it, but it was around $2,500. It was your main Les Paul in the Seventies, but you sold it after you left Aerosmith in 1979. Yeah \u2014 I had a few extras, but I wasn\u2019t really into collecting guitars.<\/p>\n

If I needed a guitar, I\u2019d just go down to the music store and buy one, usually a new one. After I left Aerosmith, I needed money for Christmas, and I remember selling it for $4,500. Do you remember who you sold it to? I\u2019m not sure, but once it left my hands, I lost track of it. That had to be 1980 or so. At some point, you tried to track it down but had trouble finding it.<\/p>\n

After Aerosmith got back together [in 1984], we owed the record company a lot of money and had to buy our way out of our old record deal. That\u2019s how low we\u2019d sunk as far as the business end of things. It wasn\u2019t until we signed to Geffen Records that we started to have a little money, and I thought, \u201cIt would be great if I could track down some of the guitars I lost.\u201d I started making calls and talking to some of my techs, and it seemed like every six months, the dollar signs in front of those \u201959s were going up.<\/p>\n

But I really wanted to try and get back some of the guitars I\u2019d had, and I remember calling everybody. It was Aerosmith\u2019s Brad Whitford who told you that Slash had it, right? Yes. I told Brad, and he said, \u201cI know where it is.\u201d I said, \u201cReally? Where?\u201d He opened up Guitar Player, I think, and there was a spread of Slash\u2019s gui- tar collection, and right in the middle of it was my \u201959 Les Paul \u2014 right there in the magazine.<\/p>\n

Is it true that Slash wasn\u2019t really into selling you the guitar? Right. We\u2019d gotten to be friends, and when I asked him, he went, \u201cOh, man\u2026 don\u2019t ask me that.\u201d I said, \u201cI\u2019ll buy it back and pay whatever you want.\u201d But he said, \u201cDon\u2019t ask me, please!\u201d<\/p>\n
