1956 Gibson Les Paul “Goldtop” Dark Back

One of the coolest Gold Tops we've had in the store, this 1956 guitar was just acquired from a private collection and features an extremely rare "dark back" finish! The lightweight mahogany body is extremely resonant, while the maple top appears to be highly figured and beautifully flamed beneath the original Gold finish. With a perfect mid-50's neck profile and a pair of fantastic sounding "Soap bar" P90s, as well as an original stop bar tail piece and ABR-1 bridge, this guitar is a perfect example of why 50's Les Paul Standards are thought to be some of the best sounding electric guitars. The incredibly rare Dark Back finish and original brown Lifton case make this a perfect guitar for any collection.

1966 Gibson SG Jr. “White”

These are some of the ultimate rock n' roll guitars! Perfect for the "Live at Leeds" era Townshend guitar sounds, this 1966 SG Jr. features a rare and very cool original "white" finish, larger pickguard and a single screamin' "soapbar" p90! With a great playing neck, resonant body, and highly responsive pickup, this guitar is incredibly versatile for a one pickup instrument.

1964 Gibson Firebird VII Sunburst

An extremely rare and sought after Firebird VII, this early '64 model features 1963 pots, 3 incredible sounding "mini humbucker" pickups, ebony fingerboard with inlaid pearl blocks, Gibson "Lyre" tail piece, and gold hardware. This guitar is very similar to those used by the Rolling stones in '64-'65. With a comfortable '64 neck profile this guitar is a great player. One of the only Firebird VII's currently available; these are getting very hard to find, especially in this shape.
