    Can this guitar be saved?

    I've seen restoration experts perform miracles before... With the right man on the job (and a healthy restoration budget) I think this can be saved.

    Kim Deals Goldtop

    Kim Deals Goldtop

    Can't remember the year, but this is also the guitar Joey borrowed from Kim for the time they were in Pixies together. Pretty legendary Les Paul, in my book, as Pixies and The Breeders are some of my favourite groups of all time. :cool:
