Due to having to replace BOTH HVAC units in the house and studio, I am selling my gorgeous Gibson Custom Shop - Harrison Clapton ''Lucy'' '57 Les Paul Reissue from 2013

Beautiful LOW-NUMBER (003!!!) Gibson Custom Shop Lucy Aged Les Paul Signature Model! Only 100 made and is one of the most desirable signature models ever made. This one is very clean and was collector-owned. The guitar plays incredible and is one of the best Lesters I have ever owned!

SERIAL NUMBER 003...

It has some different specs compared to all other regular Les Paul's including the Cherry Red finish, far off-center seam, small frets like on original 57's, Grover tuners etc... The COA is included as is an unopened remastered copy of the Beatles' "White Album".

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.

SERIAL NUMBER 003...

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

SERIAL NUMBER 003...

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 , 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.

And...did I mention...SERIAL NUMBER 003...?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!

Weight: 8.7 lbs.
