More from Gibson:

Right from the late 1960s, through his work with Linda Ronstadt, Warren Zevon, Keith Richards, Stevie Nicks, James Taylor and the Rolling Stones, Waddy Wachtel became rock's best-known sideman and session player - a household name amid a crowd usually not seen in the spotlight. Selected by Waddy in 1968 from Stephen Stills's extensive collection, this prized guitar has been with him through countless hits and sold-out tours.

"When I picked it up and my hand went around the neck, it felt like time had stopped for the moment," Waddy says of his first encounter with this special 1960 Les Paul. "I decided that this guitar I was holding was most definitely 'The One.' The sound of my 1960 Sunburst is incomparable."
