Description

Here s a rare Lucy aged Les Paul that s never been all over the internet and changed hands several times already.  This is serial #3 s coming out party and it s a truly great one.  Rumor has it that Eric Clapton has serial #1 and #2.  Just think this one s been waiting almost ten years waiting for it s forever player.  From the off center seam top to the hand aging done by Gibson this is one to add to the true Harrison Clapton Beatles fan s guitar collection.  They re not making anymore of these so grab it while you can.  I ve played a lot of Historic Les Paul s since 1994 and this one is right up at the top of the heap.  Not only is the weight and balance right on but the feel is there with this one.  It has an incredible bridge pickup with just a killer lead tone. All of the original paperwork and hand signed COA by Eric Clapton are included.  Feel free to ask any questions.  Fire away!

From Gibson – 

This Gibson Custom Shop Les Paul represents a musical history encompassing some of the most notable songs, recordings, and players of the 1960s and 70s. The original guitar which this model tributes started life as a 1957 Goldtop Les Paul, owned famously by John Sebastian, then Rick Derringer – who refinished the guitar from its factory gold to cherry red. The guitar was then found in the hands of Eric Clapton, then George Harrison. Both Clapton and Harrison would go on to use this guitar on some of their most renown works of their early careers.

In 2013, the Gibson Custom Shop faithfully and painstakingly reproduced this guitar in 100 available pieces, with allowance through the estate of George Harrison.

This guitar, dubbed by Harrison as Lucy features a one piece lightweight mahogany body with a plain-maple top with off-center seam (a feature of many 50s Goldtops). Lucy s mahogany neck – set with hot-hide glue – measures 0.907 at the 1st fret and 0.980 at the 12th, which Gibson Custom measured from the original 57 Les Paul. Electronically, this guitar is equipped with Gibson Alnico III Custom Buckers with Bumblebee capacitors, for period correct tone and accuracy to the original PAF pickups in Harrison s guitar. Other features include a nylon nut, ABR bridge, and Grover 12:1 Kidney Bean tuners.

This Lucy includes the leather-bound Certificate of Authenticity and 180-gram copy of The Beatles White Album.
