It was this guitar which helped him find that balance between and Larry Lewis who was in the Mesles. You will often hear Joe Walsh say that this guitar is one of the most important instruments he has used throughout his career. He also received a 58 reissued version of the guitar from his wife. He used this during a live performance of Life’s Been Good in 1995. There are several versions of the Goldtop Les Paul in Walsh’s collection, including one that features a Bigbsy tremolo bridge and the pickguard removed. He uses it now on a regular basis to inspire him when making new music. Joe Walsh said that the design and sound of this guitar are some of the best he has experienced and this is why it’s probably his all-time favorite instrument. The legendary PAF pickups, two of which are included in the piece, are able to produce a lot of different tones and have won over guitarists for many years. The fretboard is crafted from rosewood and it has the Gibson trademark trapezium inlays on it. All of these things combined add to the premium look and feel of this guitar. Along with the finishes, the bridge is the Les Paul standard Tune-O-Matic that can be adjusted easily using the deluxe Kluson tuners. The materials it has been made from contribute to both the tone and weight of the guitar itself. The neck and body are both made from mahogany and it features a maple top. this was one of the last gold Les Pauls built before the brand would switch it out for the sunburst finish. The Goldtop edition of this Les Paul was from the 50s which is affectionately known as Gibson’s Golden Era, especially towards the end. The guitar finally got out into the spotlight when Walsh decided to become a solo artist in the mid-80s. The Goldtop would make a few appearances with The Eagles but it was rare because the humbucking sound didn’t go well with Don Fedler’s go-to EDS tone. The story about how Joe got his hands on this Gibson Les Paul is unknown but there are theories out there that say he got it after he sold his 59 Les Paul to Pete Townshend.
