i seen a picture of him playing a jazzmaster but never a lessie
I have a promotional poster from Keep it Like a Secret, and he's playing an LP. Of course...I don't know that picking up a les paul once or twice---or even using it on a few among hundreds of recorded tracks---would be enough for me to call someone a player of les pauls...if it even matters.
