Did you know Brian Ray, legendary guitarist, owns the ACTUAL guitar Richie Cunningham played on the TV show "Happy Days"?

If you've ever wondered what happened to the screen-used Gibson Les Paul Junior™ that Richie Cunningham played on Happy Days, well, you've found it!

In this short taken from the episode of The Collection with Brian Ray—guitarist for Paul McCartney’s live band—he shares the story with Mark Agnesi of his remarkably clean 1957 Les Paul TV Model Junior, a true vintage gem with serious Hollywood history as chances are you've seen this guitar before.

Brian takes us through the details of this iconic single-cut Junior, and tells mark what makes it one of his favorite Gibson guitars. Even more incredible? This guitar came straight from the Happy Days prop department—yes, it was played by none other than Richie Cunningham in the on-screen band.

From the transition year before double cuts to its celebrity ownership, this 1957 TV Junior isn’t just a killer instrument—it’s a piece of pop culture history.
