Footnotes

"There are some really, really good pickups around today by people like Lindy Fralin and Tom Holmes. I use Tom Holmes pickups sometimes. On one of my signature Les Paul models, I've played around with different ones."
- Gary Moore, Vintage Guitar magazine, September 2007.

This guitar was the second and final prototype of the Gibson Gary Moore Signature Les Paul. It was the test bed for various pickups, including Van Zandt and Gibson Burst Buckers, types 1,2 and 3. It became Gary's main stage guitar from 2001 to 2006/7.
