2011 WPFG Custom Les Paul Epiphone Guitar
Rusty Paul, son of the legendary Les Paul, and Epiphone together donated a customized Epiphone guitar to benefit the 2011 World Police & Fire Games and its associated charities. The artwork on the guitar (donated/created by www.WrapYourGuitar.com) is in remembrance of the first responders that lost their lives on September 11, 2001, and marks the 10th anniversary of that tragic day.
