Description

This 2022 Pre-Production prototype is an exceptional Les Paul and cool piece of modern Gibson history. Featuring a COA signed by Tom Murphy and Gibson CEO Cesar Gueikian, this is one of the first Les Pauls made in this era. Its Custombucker pickups offer excellent tone and a nice chunky neck feels great in your hands. The light finish aging and aged hardware give it the appearance of a true golden era 'burst.

Includes OHSC.
