2009 Gibson Les Paul Prototype Ltd Tribute Model Gold Top with CoA & Case

Pre-owned in near mint condition, the only marks on the guitar are a couple of small dings to the back of the neck, otherwise, the guitar is barely used and mint throughout.

Becoming highly collectable, only 564 were made worldwide, 6 for each year of his life. This one is 1965B and is supplied with the original case, Certificate, Owner's Manual and Laminated fact sheet. #

The passing of the incomparable Les Paul in August 2009 broke the hearts of guitar enthusiasts around the world.

What can never be broken, though, is the legacy of innovation and creativity that he built during 94 years of constant musicianship. Though the original guitar he designed in 1952 has informed every Gibson guitar since, Gibson engineers were inspired anew to handcraft a guitar just the way Les demanded it nearly 60 years ago.

Never before has a Les Paul guitar been so completely designed to Les’ original specifications. Until now.  Anchored by a golden mahogany body, maple top and rosewood fingerboard, the Gibson Les Paul Tribute 1952 is equipped with an all-new bridge that’s an exact replica of Les’ original 1952 patent. Gibson's luthiers have also added historical interest with details like stamping “prototype” into the back of the peg head and staying true to Les’ preference for P-90 pickups. 

The Les Paul Tribute 1952 honours the most important figure in all of guitar history and the guitar he designed and loved.
