Gibson Les Paul 57 Billy F. Gibbons Pinstripe Goldtop Aged (2014)

The Gibson Les Paul 1957 Billy F. Gibbons Pinstripe Goldtop is a strictly limited collector's item par excellence. 50 specimens were produced in the "Aged & Signed" version, as well as 100 Aged and 150 VOS models. But this guitar is once again something very special in this context: originally produced as an Aged model it was hand-signed during a VIP concert with Billy Gibbons and Kenny Aronoff at the Zeche Zollverein in Essen, Germany (see picture 22) and thus represents an absolute and irretrievable unique specimen. Its look is of course pure Billy Gibbons. In imitation of the original it has the pinstripes designed by the Reverend on the noble gold finish. Billy is also responsible for the belt buckle rubbing on the back of the guitar in the shape of his home state of Texas. In the aged version, of course, there is also an authentic vintage patina with countless small and larger quirks, as well as the characteristic greenish-yellowed abrasion. Playing this chambered replica is excellent due to its dream weight of only 3125 grams and the Custom Billy Gibbons neck profile (0.9''-1.01''), which fits perfectly in the hand. And there's really not much to say about the sound. The two Seymour Duncan Pearly Gates deliver pure ZZ Top sounds. Crisp, fat and three-dimensional the sound presents itself at each pickup position. Phenomenal Texas sound, here "La Grange", "Jesus Just Left Chicago" and "Tush" bubble out of the amp as if by itself. This holy trinity of killer look, Texas tone and unbeatable rarity value, which we can offer you in top condition, should not be missed. You have to be quick...
