Form an orderly queue - the Harrisons are selling the 'world's rarest LP'.

What's Hot
Three-ColourSunburstThree-ColourSunburst Frets: 1139
edited December 2018 in Guitar
I wonder what the actual price is?

Wouldn't all those extra knobs and  non-standard switching be more likely to devalue this tatty old bit of firewood? (Assuming it is real of course   )

  • Ah my eyes, my eyes - what a horrid looking thing, how has it actually survived from 1957 till now!

    (assuming it's actually a 1957 that is)

  • Hasn’t New Kings Road Guitars got one of these? Or maybe the Harrison’s bought it from them forever putting its authenticity into question!!

    So when they say "Unique , was custom ordered", they are telling porkys? Surely not? :)

    I’d rather p*ss in a cup and drink it than go anywhere near the Harrisons

    Love this Sherlock Holmes stuff when it comes to identifying old guitars. Just found a thread about the same guitar on the Les Paul Forum and even if it is a one-off factory custom order it has been messed around with over the years. Assuming it is unique, then chances are it is also the same guitar as John Miles is playing in this video.

  • sorry, who are the Harrisons?? In my head it's some random duet between George and Ford

    Double whammy. Not only the most overpriced Les Paul, but also the ugliest Les Paul. Not for me.

    Does it have any of "The Tree" in it?

    Really surprised this is so rare. I thought Gibson would have sold container loads of them.


    Not.

    You'd think an asking price of over a $120k would warrant some better photos.

  • I love LPs, but that is fecking ugly.

  • impmannimpmann Frets: 12646
    And that’s ugly? Because it has a more versatile switching and knob arrangement than the standard pudding?

    Jeez...
    Never Ever Bloody Anything Ever.

  • Absolutely it makes it ugly. Black LP Custom is a very elegant looking guitar. The gold hardware, fancy binding, inlays etc. arent anything to do with function - they’re all about making it look like a classy top of the range machine. The additional pair of knobs and the huge switch wreck that image.

  • I very much doubt they're getting a hundred and twenty three million dollars for that, to be honest.
