A guitar that passed through the hands of such legends as Keith Richards, Eric Clapton, Jimmy Page and Mick Taylor before being stolen over 50 years ago...has been located.
A 1959 Les Paul that was among nine stolen from Villa Nellcôte, the French mansion where the Stones were recording "Exile on Main St." in 1971, was reportedly found in a huge lot of over 500 instruments that had been donated to New York’s Metropolitan Museum of Art by collector Dirk Ziff back in May. According to "Page Six," "Taylor says he never received compensation for the theft and is mystified as to how his property found its way into the Met’s collection."
