Win Les Paul's Guitar

Devon Fine Jewelry is raffling the legend's instrument to benefit the Mahwah Museum

Devon Fine Jewelry is currently selling raffle tickets for an Epiphone guitar that was owned and played by guitar legend Les Paul.

Paul was a skilled guitarist who played across multiple genres and developed the solid-body electric guitar design, as well as a number of recording and engineering techniques.

The guitar is signed by Paul himself and the two other members of the Les Paul Trio, Lou Pallo and Gary Mazzaroppi. Paul played the guitar at Fat Tuesday in New York during the 1980s.
