The Late Duane Allman's Gold Top Guitar Still Gets A Spotlight On Stage

When Duane Allman, the late lead guitarist of the Allman Brothers, played the iconic song “Layla,” his Les Paul Gold Top guitar licks were the highlight.

Grant Blankenshop (@Grant_Blank_) of Georgia Public Broadcasting has the story.
