I Think Gibson Followed My Advice!

Remember when I said Marc Bolan should have his own custom-model guitar? I think we're closer than ever! This Les Paul (April 2008 Gibson-of-the-Month) allows you to mix the pickups easily by having two zebra-pickups in addition to the two regular pickups with the model that are connected by magnets. No longer are the technologically-challenged required to go to the guitar shop to get their pickups switched!

How does this relate to T. Rex? Marc Bolan usually played with a zebra pickup in the neck and a regular one on the bridge of his stripped Les Paul Black Beauty, a cool combo if there ever was one and the standard guitar of the glam rock movement.

Now all I need is to get my red vinyl pants and leopard-print shirt out of the closet, call up my makeup girls and start practicing my glam strut for the inevitable return of the Deadly Toilet Spiders!
