Factual errors: Andy describes his guitar as 1956 Les Paul, which would have a gold finish with white P90 single coil pickups. The guitar he shows them has humbucking pickups (introduced 1957) and a sunburst finish (introduced 1958) which makes it a 1958 - 60 era model. If it were genuine, it would be worth up to $20,000 (possibly more) rather than the $2000 he claims it would be worth on e-BAY.
