Own a Piece of Gibson’s Golden Era History: bit.ly/3ZOlbdA
Have you seen the latest Gibson Certified Vintage release?
We are excited to announce the next release in the Gibson Certified Vintage program, offering one-of-a-kind Golden Era blue-chip guitars, prototypes, celebrity-owned guitars, and 70s and 80s models directly from the Gibson Vault. Gibson Certified Vintage guitars are authenticated and certified directly by Gibson, with a new lifetime warranty and certificate of vintage authenticity.
1955 Gibson Les Paul Custom # 513507
This gorgeous 1955 Les Paul Custom is in excellent original condition with very minimal wear and no significant lacquer checking. It has one small ding on the back of the body near the strap button that removed the finish. This instrument was initially shipped on January 13, 1956, with four other Les Paul Custom guitars to CMI, likely for export.
This guitar has a note written in Swedish recounting a portion of its history, which can be read here.
1960 Gibson ES-335 # A33064
This stunning 1960 ES-335 is in excellent condition with light lacquer checking, nicks, and dings throughout. The laminated maple body has a two-piece back and one-piece top, and it boasts some 1959 spec appointments, including a long pickguard, gold Top Hat knobs, and plastic strap buttons. It also features a slimmer 1960 neck.
This guitar has been refretted, and the original bridge (included in the case), which started to collapse, has been replaced with an aged nickel Custom Shop ABR-1 Tune-O-Matic bridge.
1981 Gibson ES-347 Left Handed # 82941056
Gibson ES models have seen several evolutionary changes since the debut of the ES-150 in 1936. In 1978, the ES-347 debuted as an alternate to the ES-345 with its Varitone and stereo outputs. The ES-347 replaced the Varitone with a coil-tap switch, along with some aesthetic updates, and remained popular throughout its run into the 1990s.
This extraordinary 1981 ES-347 Left-Handed guitar is in excellent New Old Stock (NOS) condition, right down to the protective plastic on the pickguard.
1982 Gibson Leo’s Les Paul # L1 0131 This rare 1982 Leo’s Les Paul represents the last era of Kalamazoo-made Les Paul guitars, inspired by what was done in the 1950s. This “pre-reissue” Les Paul was part of a limited run made at the request of dealers to replicate what Gibson was doing in 1959.
The guitar is in very good condition overall. It has mild checking throughout, and there is some lacquer crackling around the neck joint in the cutaway that doesn’t cause concern but is visible in the photos.
