Gibson Les Paul Supreme Translucent Black, 2012

  Gibson Les Paul Supreme Translucent Black, 2012

Introduced in 2003 and built at the Nashville Tennessee shop, the Gibson Les Paul Supreme is a high-end take on the classic design and features carved, highly figured Maple top and back. The construction of the Gibson Les Paul Supreme differs from the standard Les Paul though it uses the same basic materials as the Les Paul Custom. The carved top and back set are bookmatched, highly flamed Maple, on either side of a chambered Mahogany core.

 Epiphone Texan FT79N Steel String Natural, 1966

The Epiphone Texan FT79N – the N indicating a Natural finish on the top rather than Sunburst – was built as a slope shoulder dreadnought from 1958 to 1970 when Epiphone production ceased in the USA. The Epiphone FT79 was originally built from 1941 to 1958 as a square shoulder dreadnought with Walnut back and sides until 1949, and then with laminated Maple until the company was sold to Gibson in 1958.

Yamaha Revstar RS720B with Bigsby Sunburst, 2021

  Yamaha Revstar RS720B with Bigsby Sunburst, 2021

From its launch in 2015, the Yamaha Revstar line has included a number of high quality instruments that don’t quite look like anything else. The model seen here, a Yamaha Revstar RS720B (the B specifies a Bigsby B50 and Tune-O-Matic bridge), seems to have been dropped from the 2022 lineup but appeared in the 2018 USA Yamaha Guitars catalog.

The Rickenbacker 325v59 reissue was built for some years, and reproduces the second, 1959 version of the 325 as used by John Lennon in the early days of the Beatles. This second year has several significant differences compared to the first 1958 model, including a thinner body and the v59’s use of Maple rather than Alder for both the body and neck.
