The actual guitar was among the possessions stolen by ardent fans from Bolan's home, within weeks of his premature 1977 death in a road accident. Gibson announced the availability of the Marc Bolan signature Les Paul in February 2011. Lou Pallo, a longtime member of Les Paul's performing trio until the virtuoso's death in 2009, earned a signature Les Paul model in late 2010. Known as ``The Man of a Thousand Inversions'' thanks to his much-admired rhythm guitar work as well as his capable soloing, Pallo played a Les Paul Custom in the Les Paul Trio.
