ffoner (1089)	http://vintageamps.com/plexiboard/viewtopic.php?f=5&t=16533 It was up for a while at this link, but I didn’t grab it at the time^^^^ Original purchase order from when Wayne Charvel was working for Frank Green’s Music in Cali. Jan Van Halen brought Eddie and Alex in to buy ‘em a drum set and a Les Paul. You can see here that he traded in a horn and a guitar, and financed the rest. Check out the Gibson Les Paul for $400!!!! Thanks to Wayne Charvel for sending this over for us to see! -Chad ffonerQuote

Decatone (1440)	I’ll email it over to you Greg. I always think how lucky they were to get a new LP and a kit of drums at such a young age and yet they mention how money was tight! DecatoneQuote

Wes (6118)	I’d be interested in seeing it, too. Can you post it somewhere and link it here? Or if you e-mail it to me, I can do that for you. VHT Facebook Group: http://www.facebook.com/groups/3731315524 WesQuote

ron (11779)	Curious that they got the house address incorrect. Wonder if whomever (Frank?) wrote up the order just mis-heard or what. ronQuote

Dutchie (1798)	That’s a trip seeing that…. $400 for a 1969 Les Paul…. Damn. Makes you wonder what its worth now… I would imaging it would be this Les Paul… Interesting note, in the first post, the link to vintageamps.com, someone mentions that the date of the purchase is also the date of day one at Woodstock… Thanks for posting that, Nick.

Decatone (1440)	Dutchie: I would imaging it would be this Les Paul… Thanks for posting that pic Dutchie mate …I was scratching round a pile of pics looking for that. Yep, that’s the one a ’69 gold top long tenon neck …wait for it…. with P90′s WTF!!!! This is the bit that’s weird, at some stage early on Ed must have got rid of this as I don’t ever recall seeing him play a goldtop plus the fact that the holes in the guitar for p90′s are smaller than a standard humbucker pickup? maybe he didn’t get on with the p90′s and px’d for the white LP?

Dutchie (1798)	Here’s a picture of Ed with a Gold Top ’80 (I think, could be ’81). I dont know if its the same guitar or not. I’m sure Ed had no problem’s making normal humbuckers fit where P90′s once lived. I’m sure Ed would of kept the guitar as his dad bought it for him… DutchieQuote

Decatone (1440)	Yeah, I can’t see him selling it although after the way he hacked away at the frankie that doesn’t look like Ed’s handy work! that pup recess is too perfect. He had a few LP’s by then I think the white custom appeared in 77? DecatoneQuote
