I know Brad Kelley (XXX) has a couple of "famous" guitars. I think one of them is a soloist from Bruce Kulick.

I own a 1959 Gibson Les Paul Sunburst that was used by Eric Clapton for the John Mayall "Beano" album.

I never really play it though, it's such an old POS and so totally un-metal, so I am going to install a Floyd, throw away those low output PAF's and install a set of EMGs, carve out a nice upper horn so it looks more like a Charvel and reshape the headstock into a pointy.

See ya at the Jamil Temple, Eric., on the 28th.
(Right?)
Good to see you around!

I would make all those changes to it... for me it would be destroying that guitar.

[eric ernest]

played YJM's original '71 fender strat(the duck)backstage back in 1989 before he went on
it was very difficult to play(it had a very high action and those damn scallops were deep! no fret buzz at all super clean toned unplugged)
BTW, yngwie was not the dick i heard he was supposed to be
he was really cool to me and had a great sense of humor
need not say that he completely destroyed me on the axe after i handed it back to him!

[ADR]

Does this count? 1/2 of a Strat . . once owned and played and destroyed by YJM himself, this was the "Fire & Ice" tour 91-92.
He had this for awhile,because on the back was a chip app size of a nickel and was worn in and dirty on the bare wood.My brother was working stage front center and got it,went back and asked him to sign it and well this is what he wrote:
