The history is that Paul started off with the Red/Black dual colour body and before Attack of the Grey Lantern was due to be released both him and fellow Guitarist Dominic Chad got both of their guitars covered in huge Purple rose stickers covering the guitar body entirely.
Following on from when the guitar was sold the new owner, a fan of Mansun decided to revive the original guitar body and removed the sticker, which was signed by Paul Draper but looking tatty. In 2015 during one of the Spooky Action recording sessions the new owner of Paul's Red/Black Les Paul Gibson (Stuart) brought it along and Paul Draper was reunited with his old guitar which was used to tour with the band solidly. According to Frank Hiis blog Studiovisit @ Spooky Action Sessions by Frank Hiis (Blog) here who was also invited to attend the final Spooky Action recording session it is mentioned that Paul wanted to use his old guitar to record on one of his new songs from Spooky Action.
