Les Paul

OK. This pick is THE business!!!! It was made by Les Paul. He stuck the sandpaper on so he would have a better grip and wrote 'H' on each side for 'hard.' It was given to me by the Mahwah Museum which houses a Les Paul exhibition. Mahwah is where Les lived for several years before he died.

 Adam Levine |

Why 222? Adam Levine sports a tattoo saying '222' & has also launched a clothing range called 222.
Here's his explanation of why 222. “Well, there’s a place called 222, the first studio we recorded our first demo at in Hollywood and it was this tiny little building. It no longer exists, actually, or it’s under a different name now, but it was the first studio we recorded at and then that demo tape…we had this tape and we took it around. That’s kind of what started our whole career! Even back then, we said 222 was going to be our lucky number and it just kind of stuck with us.”
