The ever popular lager beer yellow finish helps, I think. I doubt the guitar is a rare, limited edition or handmade in anyway other than anyother production Classic, still it is a nice example of a Classic model Les Paul, a popular model with its thin neck and hot humbuckers. ![]() Was it sold by Gibson to a person as a factory direct sale with proper paperwork and warranty? Or was the seller one or both signees? Has the op at least contacted Gibson Customer Service to get a proper idea of what he has? I'm mostly curious about the two dudes who "handmade" the guitar and told this guy the woeful tale,, then signing and selling,, to some Gibson fan on a tour of the Memphis factory. More often it is an old wrought iron fencepost. They come here to with the hope of proving it. MANY people hope what they bought is the Sword in the Stone. Al's comments and though his delivery is akin to Thor smashing eggs with his hammer, he is right. They are surprisingly easy to ask!Īlso, I understand Mr. If I were you I would try to obtain that. What you may have there is nearly impossible to prove without a letter from Gibson. If it is not documented the more suspicious. The word on the street is "the longer the story the more suspicious". I think that (in the long run) you may have something unique and wonderful there because of this. I am guessing they may have built a few without some of the templates that were at the other factory hence it being more handbuilt than a Nashville. But try building one without the use of hands! Or mad skills. By most craftsman's standards Gibson guitars are not truly "handbuilt". Everything is built by moving it about by hand. I suppose that the term "handbuilt" is in question here. That makes everything seem to be in order. Big Al will become your friend in no time, trust me on this. Hope this answers all your questions, thanks I had two friends with me the whole time who can corroborate this story and will have the Amex bill too. I returned 2 days later to collect the guitar once it'd been fully prepared and packaged ready for me to take back to the UK. We chatted for quite a while and agreed a price - I was introduced to the guys on the floor that had built the guitar, paid for it by Amex (in the factory store, on the store till). At the end of the tour, I asked if it could be sold and the tour guide went to get the manager to ask - I did get his business card but sadly lost it since. The guitar was on show in a floor case (single case, on it's own) and they pointed it out as being one of the few produced at Memphis. ![]() I took the official factory tour (by Gibson employees in the factory, not in the parking lot!), and during that tour we were told the history of that factory and how they'd had a very short production period of Les Pauls and then how it very quick switched to only hollow body production.
