Originally it was acquired by Kossoff\u2019s father, David Kossoff, who brought it back to the UK for him in a time when Les Pauls were hard to come by. Kossoff was trading up from a 1957 Les Paul Junior, and used it in Black Cat Bones, his band before Free (you can see Kossoff pictured with the guitar in the back cover art of<span>\u00a0<\/span><em>Paul&#8217;s Blues<\/em><span>\u00a0<\/span>and hear him play it in the video below).<\/p>\n<p>[\/et_pb_text][et_pb_video src=&#8221;https:\/\/youtu.be\/lKobIw0hZYo&#8221; _builder_version=&#8221;4.25.2&#8243; _module_preset=&#8221;default&#8221; global_colors_info=&#8221;{}&#8221; theme_builder_area=&#8221;post_content&#8221;][\/et_pb_video][et_pb_text _builder_version=&#8221;4.25.2&#8243; _module_preset=&#8221;default&#8221; text_font_size=&#8221;16px&#8221; link_font=&#8221;|600|||on||||&#8221; link_text_color=&#8221;#FFFFFF&#8221; header_font=&#8221;|700|||||||&#8221; header_text_align=&#8221;center&#8221; header_font_size=&#8221;36px&#8221; header_2_font=&#8221;|600|||||||&#8221; background_layout=&#8221;dark&#8221; global_colors_info=&#8221;{}&#8221; theme_builder_area=&#8221;post_content&#8221;]<\/p>\n<p><span>Fitted with a P-90 at the bridge and an Alnico V \u2018Staple\u2019 pickup at the neck, the Black Beauty predated the popularisation of the humbucker. Seth Lover\u2019s PAF was only invented in \u201955, making its debut on high-end Gibson electrics the following year.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p>Tastes in tone were changing. When Kossoff took receipt of his guitar, it was the \u201860s, and the only objects that were getting passed around more freely than joints were guitars. Kossoff\u2019s Black Beauty soon found its way into Clapton\u2019s possession, around<span>\u00a0<\/span><em>Disreali Gears<\/em>-era Cream. The Black Beauty did the rounds, and was once under the ownership of Guns N\u2019 Roses\u2019 Duff McKagan before Lucas purchased it.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>Kossoff would later become associated with a number of famous Les Pauls.<span>\u00a0<\/span><a data-analytics-id=\"inline-link\" href=\"https:\/\/www.guitarworld.com\/features\/the-story-of-paul-kossoffs-stripped-top-1959-gibson-les-paul-standard\" data-before-rewrite-localise=\"https:\/\/www.guitarworld.com\/features\/the-story-of-paul-kossoffs-stripped-top-1959-gibson-les-paul-standard\" data-url=\"https:\/\/www.guitarworld.com\/features\/the-story-of-paul-kossoffs-stripped-top-1959-gibson-les-paul-standard\" data-hl-processed=\"none\" class=\"hawk-link-parsed\" data-custom-tracking-id=\"1307528146324972261\" data-hawk-tracked=\"hawklinks\" data-google-interstitial=\"false\" data-label=\"The story of Kossoff\u2019s \u2018Stripped Top\u2019 Les Paul Standard\">The story of Kossoff\u2019s \u2018Stripped Top\u2019 Les Paul Standard<\/a><span>\u00a0<\/span>is legendary; it was the guitar of Free\u2019s storming set at Isle of Wight in 1970, and by most Free superfans\u2019 reckoning it was used to track<span>\u00a0<\/span><em>All Right Now<\/em>. Speaking to<span>\u00a0<\/span><em>Guitarist<\/em><span>\u00a0<\/span>in 2020, David Clayton of the Free Appreciation Society shed a little light on what Kossoff was using and when.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThere were three main Sunburst Les Pauls that Kossoff used: the Clapton one, the stripped-top one and a \u201959 \u2019Burst that he acquired slightly later that went on to be owned by Arthur Ramm,\u201d said Clayton. \u201cKossoff used the stripped one for<span>\u00a0<\/span><em>All Right Now<\/em><span>\u00a0<\/span>at the BBC in June and Clapton\u2019s one for the Granada TV show on 24 July 1970. So he was basically relying on those two guitars before Arthur\u2019s turned up.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI\u2019ve played all three \u2013 and the thing with the \u2018Stripped Top\u2019 \u2019Burst is that it\u2019s a really bright, fierce guitar,\u201d Clayton continued. \u201cIt\u2019s got a really lovely ring. If you play a nice big chord, the whole guitar just sings. That\u2019s maybe because the finish is stripped away. I don\u2019t think it had any finish on the top at all when Paul had it, so I\u2019m assuming it was particularly resonant.\u201d\u00a0 \u00a0<\/p>\n<p>[\/et_pb_text][et_pb_text _builder_version=&#8221;4.25.2&#8243; _module_preset=&#8221;default&#8221; text_font_size=&#8221;16px&#8221; link_font=&#8221;|600|||on||||&#8221; link_text_color=&#8221;#FFFFFF&#8221; header_font=&#8221;|700|||||||&#8221; header_text_align=&#8221;center&#8221; header_font_size=&#8221;36px&#8221; header_2_font=&#8221;|600|||||||&#8221; background_layout=&#8221;dark&#8221; global_colors_info=&#8221;{}&#8221; theme_builder_area=&#8221;post_content&#8221;]<iframe loading=\"lazy\" src=\"https:\/\/www.facebook.com\/plugins\/video.php?href=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.facebook.com%2F864787173871238%2Fvideos%2F1029209214147530%2F%3Fref%3Dembed_video&#038;show_text=0&#038;width=560\" width=\"560\" height=\"315\" style=\"border:none;overflow:hidden\" scrolling=\"no\" frameborder=\"0\" allowfullscreen=\"true\" allow=\"autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; picture-in-picture; web-share\" allowFullScreen=\"true\"><\/iframe>[\/et_pb_text][et_pb_text _builder_version=&#8221;4.25.2&#8243; _module_preset=&#8221;default&#8221; text_font_size=&#8221;16px&#8221; link_font=&#8221;|600|||on||||&#8221; link_text_color=&#8221;#FFFFFF&#8221; header_font=&#8221;|700|||||||&#8221; header_text_align=&#8221;center&#8221; header_font_size=&#8221;36px&#8221; header_2_font=&#8221;|600|||||||&#8221; background_layout=&#8221;dark&#8221; global_colors_info=&#8221;{}&#8221; theme_builder_area=&#8221;post_content&#8221;]<\/p>\n<p>Besides giving us the lingering idea that Lucas should lend King that guitar for the run, the video also gave us a new look at King\u2019s touring<span>\u00a0<\/span><a data-analytics-id=\"inline-link\" href=\"https:\/\/www.guitarworld.com\/gear\/best-pedalboards\" data-before-rewrite-localise=\"https:\/\/www.guitarworld.com\/gear\/best-pedalboards\" data-url=\"https:\/\/www.guitarworld.com\/gear\/best-pedalboards\" data-hl-processed=\"none\" class=\"hawk-link-parsed\" data-custom-tracking-id=\"8833002964050923929\" data-hawk-tracked=\"hawklinks\" data-google-interstitial=\"false\" data-label=\"pedalboard\">pedalboard<\/a>, which has a few substitutions with the core lineup of pedals in place.
