Really? Did not know.
But still... When one hears "Lenny" most people wouldn't think it was a woman...
Yup, but I hear you on that. Lenny is short for Lenore. She (along with Rene Martinez I believe) bought him the guitar from a pawn shop.
I prefer a nice faded burst on a plain top LP over figured wood any day, but don't mind a light flame. No quilts though. And any figured wood on a Fender looks awful IMHO.
Ritchie Blackmore, Uli Jon Roth and J Hendrix love(d) them too.
Not to nitpick but Hendrix was long dead before the first 3-bolt rolled off the assembly line
