Ziggy Marley, son of Bob Marley, has revealed why he hasn’t followed in his father’s footsteps as a Gibson Les Paul player – opening up on the whereabouts of the late reggae legend’s famed Les Paul Special.
The heavily modified Special, purchased from Top Gear in Denmark Street in 1973, was Bob’s go-to guitar. He first used it for a string of UK dates in May that year, though it would later become his prime stage and studio guitar, accompanying him until the end of his career.
