I asked Gibson to make me a reissue of the 1991 Les Paul Goldtop that I had been using on tour for "Sweet Child O' Mine," "November Rain" and "Knockin' On Heaven's Door." This was probably the best guitar that I ever heard for playing those kinds of solos. In 1998, I had my studio ripped off and all my guitars were stolen. Slowly but surely I got them all back — but the one I didn't get back was that particular Goldtop. Finally, I got to the point of asking Gibson to build me a reissue. It's amazing: they built me this guitar and it sounds exactly like the 1991 stolen guitar, which somebody out there still has
