But I was gonna tell a story about this one guitar.
When I was in my first stages of learning how to play,
there was this live Aerosmith record called Live Bootleg.
Oh, yeah.
One of the best live records ever.
I love that record, man.
And in the foldout, this was back when they had vinyl, right?
In the foldout, there was a couple pictures of Joe
with this Tobacco Sunburst Les Paul.
So instead of the regular sort of red, yellow, cherry thing,
it was more of a black to brown, sort of a puke yellow kind of deal.
And I thought that was the coolest, you know,
in my sort of discovering Les Paul period,
that was the coolest guitar I'd ever seen.
So years and years later, I got this.
I was in Japan, and I got this phone call saying that
there's some guy trying to sell this guitar that I might be interested in.
And it was a tobacco, 59 Tobacco Les Paul,
and it was owned by Dwayne Allman and then Joe Perry.
So I was like, get out of here.
So I said, send me the photos.
And we were on tour in Japan, so when I got back to L.A.,. I went to my apartment, and there was this envelope, you know, from whoever, I don't know who it was. I just opened it up sort of nonchalantly, and out came these, you know, well, you got 3x5s of this guitar. And you recognize the guitar because it had, like, this was worn off right here, and then there was a scratch underneath the pickguard right here and a scratch right here and a couple of recognizable things. From hours of studying these pictures, I knew exactly what this guitar looked like. And I bought the guitar for eight grand. So nobody knew exactly what the value of these things were. So I bought the guitar, and it showed up at my apartment, and there it was. And this is a 59 that's been played by all these great guys. And so it was sort of a coveted thing for me. I didn't really touch [Eb] it too much until a few years later, and I went into the studio [N] and was making a record, and I pulled this thing out, which is what happens with vintage guitars. You tend to tuck them away because they are that. Anyway, I pulled this thing out, and it sounded really good, but it didn't sound like anything you'd want to necessarily call, you know, write home about or anything like that. So I recorded one song with it and shot one video with it, and then years and years went by, and then I finally gave it back to Joe for his birthday five years ago. So that's like, there's a guitar that's got some history and has made some amazing sounds, but didn't necessarily, you know, it was like, it's a good guitar, but it didn't speak to me in the way that my own guitar did. It wasn't worth having to keep it around for the sake of keeping it around. And it was too valuable and had too much history to start beating it up like I had done my own guitar. So it was just going to be collecting dust and only getting picked out for those special moments, which I don't think a good guitar should be used for. He was very happy. That's cool, man. That's a great story. He was like, that's the only thing I have from that
