Gibson Les Paul Classic Bullion Gold, 1990

On August 20, 2021 /

Here is a bit of a rarity – a Gibson Les Paul Classic Bullion Gold finish. This model isn’t just a Gold Top – the entire guitar is gold! This example was built during 1990, and while this finish was available for perhaps three years, it was not common. It is definitely classy and eye-catching! The Gibson Les Paul Classic Bullion Gold is built like other carved-top Les Pauls, with a bound Maple cap on a Mahogany body, paired with a Mahogany neck and bound Indian Rosewood fingerboard.

Godin ACS SA Grand Concert Duet Classical Electric, Natural

On August 18, 2021 /

The Godin ACS SA Grand Concert Duet Classical Electric is a descendant of the Gibson Chet Atkins CEC – Cutaway Electric Classical. While Gibson eventually dropped the design, Godin picked it up and with some practical changes such as a bolt-on neck and a mix of piezo and synthesizer pickups have turned it into a very popular instrument used by performers worldwide.

Fender Telecaster Blonde, 1972

On August 15, 2021 /

This Fender Telecaster Blonde is built during 1972 in Fullerton, California, is in good working order and with all original parts and case. For many years, this guitar had the ‘ashtray’ bridge cover in place, and much of the original, lighter blonde colour tone is visible where the cover extended past the bridge. The rest of the finish has naturally yellowed to a very nice butterscotch tone.

Fender 57 Reissue Precision Bass Sunburst, 1982

On August 13, 2021 /

Here we have a Fender 57 Reissue Precision Bass, in two-tone sunburst and built during 1982 in Fullerton, California, during the period of CBS ownership. This bass reproduces the second major evolutionary step of the P-Bass towards its current form. Initially, the Precision Bass used a slab body and single-coil pickup. To keep pace with the ‘New for 1954’ Stratocaster, in that year the Precision Bass also received body contours. This lasted until 1957, when the new hum-cancelling split pickup was introduced.

Gibson LG3 Steel String Guitar Natural, 1949

On August 10, 2021 /

The Gibson LG3 was built from late 1942 to 1963 as an entry level model, but its production was suspended months after its launch due to WW2. It was introduced with the LG1 and LG2, but from 1943 to 1945, only the sunburst LG2 stayed in production. All three models were similar in appearance, but the LG1 and LG2 were ladder braced while the LG3 had what’s now the standard X bracing. In 1963, the LG3 was replaced by the B25-N (for Natural Finish Top).

Gibson LP Custom Cherry, 1984

On August 5, 2021 /

The Gibson LP Custom – the Les Paul Custom – appeared in 1954 and aside from 1963 to 1968 has been part of the Les Paul Lineup since then in various forms. Aside from specialty models like the Supreme, it’s always been the top of the Les Paul line, with gold plated hardware, extra binding and more Mother of Pearl inlays. Some versions after the 1957 introduction of the new humbucking pickup, sported three pickups.
