1. The les Paul "Log"
2. Lucilles, I have no idea. Probably a good load. I'll say 15.
3. I always assumed that was a mistake that was made and just perpetuated. Do tell!
4.,5. Are they both Rickenbacker?

I'd say Yamaha for Ratrod's fourth question, but it's only a semi-educated guess.

Well done on the Mastermind appearance, HTB! I've thought about applying and was considering the exact same specialist subject, but I wouldn't have the bottle.

"the Bottle" is exactly what I'd had too much of when I did apply...

i'd say the heelless neck through and active electronics would be BC Rich.

I think that's probably right (remembering all those switches on old Mockingbirds!).

I shouldn't think anyone knows the answer to question 2 - I very much doubt BB King is the kind of guy who'd keep a record of all the guitars he's owned. He has better things to do.

Ratty, that was dirty action...

I've been searching all day for the answer to them.

explain what is curious about the PAF pickup and the Patent Number assigned to it.

Was it only me that thought this was gonna have something to do with the new Super Market Sweep?

What was the first guitar to have Active pickups installed as standard?

BB King didn't have any Lucilles, just a brand new Gibson ES-335, then one night while playing at a local bar, a fighting broked out (knives),somebody knocked of a lamp?, an a fire spread over the whole place, BB ran along side everybody , then he remembered the guitar, turned around while the place was burning grabbed the guitar and almost made it out. So that night he found out the name of the woman that had caused the fight and the fire. Lucille.
