Gibson Les Paul Traditional GoldTop with Bigsby, 2014

On October 21, 2023 /

This guitar is a bit unusual – a Gibson Les Paul Traditional GoldTop with Bigsby, the Bigsby mounted at the factory using a VibraMate kit. During 2014, Gibson offered a number of Les Paul Traditional GoldTop P90 models. A Bigsby was desired, but that normally requires drilling at least two holes in the top.

Heritage Prospect Thinline Burnt Amber, 2014

On September 30, 2023 /

Heritage guitars, including the Heritage Prospect thinline archtop electric, are built at the historic Gibson plant in Kalamazoo, Michigan. These are very well made instruments, with a high level of consistent quality. The Heritage Prospect is based on the classic thinline semi-hollow archtop design pioneered in 1958 by Gibson with the ES-335.

Gibson ES Les Paul Light Burst, 2014

On September 16, 2023 /

Coming from the now shuttered Memphis plant in 2014, the Gibson ES Les Paul combined classic Les Paul aesthetics with the immensely successful thinline ES concept. Along with the plant, this model has, as such, been discontinued by Gibson’s new management. The new ES-235 is perhaps its replacement in this class. Here we’re looking at a very, clean Gibson ES Les Paul sporting a Light Burst finish. There is very little wear of any type, to the frets, fingerboard, finish or plating.

The Gibson ES-350T (or ES-350TD to the early 1960s) is a thin-bodied, single cutaway fully hollow archtop electric built from 1955 to 1963 with a 23.5 inch scale length, and from 1977 to 1993 with a 25.5 inch scale. It started as the full-bodied, single-cutaway, 25.5 inch scale length single P-90 ES-350 Premiere in 1947. These full bodied ES-350 models were used by a number of top artists in the 1950s, most notably Chuck Berry.

Gibson R8 Les Paul Standard Cherry Burst 2007

On September 12, 2023 /

The Gibson R8 Les Paul Standard is a faithful re-creation of the early, legendary Burst models that featured the then-newly invented humbucking pickups. Introduced in late 1957, these new ‘Standard’ models also replaced the original metallic gold top finish with a sunburst. The Les Paul Custom also carried the new hardware, but kept its black finish and gold hardware.
