[HUNTED] Gibson Custom Shop Les Paul White Over Sunburst

Neylus

Hey guys!

Hope you are all doing well. Probably a long shot here, but let me explain the story.
In 2018 I went down to Andertons to find a replacement for my 1959 Les Paul Duane Allman VOS that I wanted to sell. I saw a beautiful (some don't like them but I personally do!) Gibson Les Paul Custom Shop in white over sunburst finish. Not only it was gorgeous, it was also light (about 3.7kg I believe) and sounded amazingly well.

Unfortunately, I couldn't sell the Allman LP fast enough and the White Over LP got sold.

And here we are now 5 years later, I'm desperately thinking about that white over Les Paul and my best shot is to post something here hoping that the owner of that beauty sees me and thinks about selling it!

If you've seen her, have her or know someone who has a similar one, please contact me!

Thanks for reading me

Good luck with the hunt. I definitely don’t have the guitar and I definitely never will.

Just buy a sunburst and paint it.

It looks like someone has stabbed their finger whilst changing the strings….that, or bludgeoned someone to death with it…..

The good news is that, if the owner does see this post, he'll be only too keen to sell what must have been a drunken purchase to you.

You could always get a standard sunburst and get a professional paint job done over the top to achieve the finish....

If you can find the guitar do you intend to give it a name…?

Gisele, but spelt with a J?

From memory these were impossible to shift for nearly all dealers. A certain German box shifter was blowing them out for less than half rrp (£2300 or thereabouts) and squealing pigs bought them all up and listed them back at full price (dicks)

@Neylus Do you still have the Allman LP?

It would need to be an unprofessional paint job, no?

Gibsons take on a scratch card -  The Burst Lottery.

It's a guitar, and just a bit of fun.
