Gibson Les Paul Deluxe Ex-Petri Walli 1972/1973
And here we go... This must be one of the most legendary instruments in Finland with proven artist history.
This was the main instrument Petri Walli used through out his career with Kingston Wall. He originally found the guitar in 1989 from King´s Sex shop ran by Tom Sjöberg. He paid 3000 marks for the guitar at the time. The guitar ended up to Ivalo in northern Finland few years after passing of Petri Walli.
The guitar is 1972/1973 Gibson Les Paul Deluxe with modifications made by unknown owner before the guitar ended up to Walli. The instrument was the only electric guitar Walli used in studio and on stage.
The history and the background of the guitar is depicted very carefully in the book "Kingston Wallin perintö" written by Kimmo Aroluoma. You can find the audio book here (chapters 10 and 11).
