This is my most collectable guitar. It's a 1960 Sunburst Les Paul now called the 'Kriegerburst'. It's one of the lightest ones from that year (about 8.1 lbs). I think that the lighter the guitar, the better the sound. My friend and guitar fanatic Al Jackson talked me into buying this one a few years ago. I'm glad he did! For a '60 Sunburst,lighter is better...
