Markus in London working with Mark Knopfler

I wonder how many REAL 58 Gibson LEsters exist? As I recall they didnt make that many I know the 58 customs where less than 300 pcs.......at a value price of 375.00 EACH! -- of course the "average family income " in '58 was 6,000.00 ..................a YEAR! -- wow----- I need to sit down a minute....
 
434 1958 Les Paul Standards small frets 643 1959 Les Paul Standards large frets 635 1960 Les Paul Standards large frets. 1712 total,

I have a 1958 LPS a Christmas gift 2016 from my wife. I own the most mint 1960 LPS known I paid $325K in 2003 I sold it in mid 2016 for $1.2 million I bought a foreclosed house in Aspen CO.
for $300K cash I told my wife I'm no good at marriage so I got you a house up front two months later we had a offer on the house for $1.5 million long story short I got my 1960 LPS back
My wife was the buyer of the 1960 LPS in the first place. Mark had his 1958 LPS re fretted with jumbo frets. In public I play $1000.00 or less guitars.
