Kossoff Burst

Kossoff played in the band Free and he broke the neck on the guitar in the 1970s when he threw it up in the air and failed to catch it during a concert.

[1] He then picked up Arthur Ramm's 1968 Gibson Les Paul Goldtop to finish the concert.

He told Ramm he would like to keep the goldtop and he would give him the Les Paul that he broke during the concert after it was repaired.

[5][6] The guitar is a 1959 Gibson Les Paul in sunburst finish and it weighs 8.68 lb (3.94 kg).

The screw bobbin is physically mounted backwards on the baseplate and reverse wound with Formvar magnet wire.
