PETER FRAMPTON’S LES PAUL Returned After 32 Years

PETER FRAMPTON’S LES PAUL Returned After 32 Years

What a GREAT story.  If you have ever lost a guitar or had one stolen, this story is for you.

 

Peter Frampton’s Les Paul returned after 32 years.  Who can even believe this!  Peter Frampton’s 1954 black Les Paul Custom which was given to him by a fan named Mark Mariana at a Humble Pie gig back in 1970, and made famous during his solo days, has been returned by two of his fans who tracked it down after some serious investigating. It went missing and was presumed lost after a 1980 cargo plane crash.  See the story here:
