Bernie Marsden, best known for his time in Whitesnake - https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-england-beds-bucks-herts-66626994
Wonder whether the family will sell his '59 Les Paul, I'd buy it if I won the lottery!

Yeah I only saw this news today. F-in gutted. His guitar tone was a one off, and along with NMA, Killing Joke my favourite band. Im also a bit angry they haven't put an album out since 2015, only one or two tracks, so we did not hear enough of his great playing in recent times.
