				In the earlier times, we referred
				to the guitar as a "horn" because
				it was used as melody instrument
				rather than a rhythm instrument. 
				Also, "comping" comes into play for
				many standard or jazz styles.

				The original Les Paul model is worth
				much more nowadays. Most folks may
				not realize that he was an expert on
				pick-ups and his concepts were/are
				used to this day. 

				My favorite is a Gibson ES 175, 
				modified with hummers and custom fret 
				board. It is now over 50 years old and 
				still has good wood. It'll be "cooked"
				with my ashes when I go to sea.

				Enjoy.
