The appearance helped to popularize the Les Paul, and that specific guitar has since taken on legendary status. In the ’60s, Jimmy Page was photographed with the Keithburst …

The producer and multi-instrumentalist Blake Mills loves working with Pino Palladino, the all-time bass god. Of course he does.
