Gibson Custom Billy F. Gibbons Les Paul Goldtop VOS Overview
Were you expecting subtle? Then you don't know the player or the guitar! Gibson Custom is head over heels to present the Legendary Billy F Gibbons' take on that most visually revered guitar, the Les Paul Goldtop. Re-envisioned by Rock and Roll's most compelling character and statesmen to both style and tone, the Gibson Les Paul Goldtop gets the makeover of a lifetime from the outside in.Aesthetically, the first revision of an already eye-catching guitar in over 60 years is a masterpiece of style, featuring an original pinstripe design by Billy. The pinstripe design is recreated one at a time, by hand, by the very steady and respected hands of Rick Harris, along with our own artist, who Rick has himself trained. The subtle differences in each make each one a one-of-a-kind work of art. Adding to this unique individual character is Gibson Custom's hand-aging process, which captures the wear of Billy's own guitars.
As a player, Billy's world-renown tone is delivered through two Seymour Duncan Pearly Gates pickups, the only pickups to bear Billy's name and stamp of approval. Billy's signature tone is captured through the guitar's lightweight, chambered mahogany body, carved from a single piece of wood. The added benefit of the guitar's ultra-light overall weight makes it as comfortable to play as it is sonically inspiring. That comfort continues with its neck, a reproduction of Billy's own Goldtop profile.
