Nice to see that guitar getting played. I believe that's the LP that Dickey gave to Dan Toler, who ended up playing it maybe even more than Dickey did.

You've posted here about this guitar before, PorkchopBob 

So is that the tolerburst DiMeola is playing and would Family Guitars now have it?

@islalala Looks like they must own it now. I believe the Tolerburst started life as a gold top, which is why it has an uneven binding. Dickey switched to a different Les Paul burst during the Brothers & Sisters era and then moved on to the more famous Goldie, I wonder why he moved on from this one but kept it around until he gave it to Toler.

@porkchopbob When Dickey decided to get a Les Paul he got a gold top with a pick guard in Detroit. It wouldn't stay in tune and he finally threw it across the stage but it didn't break. Red Dog put it in Dickey's rack but when Dickey saw it the next day he beat it into the floor and broke the neck off and Red Dog said he picked up the broken Les Paul and put it in the dumpster outback. 

The next Les Paul Dickey bought was also a gold top but it had a blemish at the bottom of the body and the finish was missing there too so Dickey had it refinished and they simply put the red around the edge and left the gold top on the rest of the body. 

And that is this guitar. Dickey played it beginning in late summer 1970 and gave the SG he also played some in 1969 and 1970 to Duane for slide guitar. Dickey plays the guitar Al has on this Instagram on At Fillmore East. 

But Dickey later found a burst with zebra pickups which he liked the tone better and switched to that. But it had "staying in tune" problems and in 1974 at a New York City pawn shop he found the 1957 " Goldie " gold top which was Dickey's favorite Les Paul and it became his number one stage guitar from 1974 to 1994 when Dickey got mad a Gibson because ( "They are ignoring me and I don't like it" - Guitar magazine ) so Dickey bought two Paul Reed Smith electric guitars but after just a year or so he mostly played an old 1956 Fender Stratocaster hard tail he had owned for years and used some for rhythm in the studio. Dickey put a hot rail pickup in the neck pickup slot and played lead guitar with it for several years in the 1990's. I got close to that old Strat at a Duane Betts concert a few years ago and it's got a huge amount of road wear on the neck and parts of the body. Apparently it was like that when Dickey bought it way back. But in a Guitar Player magazine interview Dickey was asked about the Strat and he explained he is a Les Paul man but was mad a Gibson for several years and he said his old 1956 Stratocaster was a real fine guitar and a great rhythm guitar. 

In 2001 Gibson finally introduced a Dickey Betts signature Les Paul Gold Top and he and Gibson were back together. 

During Great Southern in 1977 and 78 Toler played the old Strat Dickey had. But when they put the ABB back together Dickey still had the Fillmore East burst along with several guitars both electric and acoustic and some resonator guitars including Duane's Regal used on Little Martha and Dickey used on Pony Boy at his home. 

Anyway I remember reading in a fan magazine Dickey felt the ABB called for a Les Paul tone so he gave Danny Toler the Filmore East burst to use instead of the old Strat and eventually told Toler he could have the Fillmore burst guitar. That it was his. 

By the 2000s Danny Toler had switched to a red Stratocaster with a whammy bar and he began using the whammy a lot. Too much for me When he joined Great Southern in the 2000s he said he still had the Fillmore East burst but after he suddenly quit Great Southern ( apparently because Dickey wouldn't do any of Danny's original songs ) Danny announced he needed the money and put the Fillmore East burst up for sale. 

I think a collector from Japan bought it. 

Duane Betts was playing it recently and said it was nice to have it back home. So I thought Duane Betts now had the guitar but apparently he was only borrowing it. 

Dickey gave several guitars away over the years including the Martin acoustic he played backing Duane on Little Martha, an old 1955 Stratocaster he gave to Billy Joe Shaver's son who used it as his number one until he died of an OD. And the Fillmore East burst was given to Danny Toler who eventually sold it but I don't know for how much. 

But Dickey still had about 45 guitars when he died including about 10 Les Pauls. Duane Betts owns most of them. 

Sorry this was a little long winded.
