This is the greatest tie for any musician at heart. The tie is actually shaped like a GIBSON Guitar!! The original Les Paul had a gold-painted top, but was replaced with the Les Paul Standard in 1958. The guitar was popularized by guitar greats like Duane Allman, Eric Clapton, Jeff Beck and Jimmy Page (Led Zeppelin), and Slash (Guns N' Roses), who by the way has over 100 guitars, mainly Les Pauls.
