Those of you who are familiar with John Robson’s YouTube channel may know NYPD police veteran ‘Grandpa Joe’. He often appears in the comments of Johns’ videos and is a huge fan and advocate of the channel.

Joe recently sent John a very special gift: an NYPD challenge coin. John was touched by this exchange and wanted to do something special with the coin.

John asked us to carve into his beloved Les Paul Tribute and set the coin inside the guitar body. We are pleased (and relieved!) that John is so happy with the results.

In this YouTube video, he shows off the guitar and tells the story in his own words.

Here are a few more great videos from John’s extensive collection;

• Stainless steel refretting and upgrading John’s PRS
• Five things John looks for in a guitar player
• John reviews the Agrajag Corvus
• John reviews the Squier Classic Vibe 50s Strat
