**LONG LIVE THE KING** WE LOST A GREAT MAN AND A ICONIC BLUES GUITARIST AND SINGER ON MAY 14, 2015. HE WAS BORN RILEY KING (B.B KING) IN MISSISSIPPI SEPT 16, 1925 AND PASSED AT THE AGE OF 89. HE IS MISSED BY MILLIONS AND WILL NEVER BE REPLACED WHAT A LOSS FOR THE MUSIC WORLD!UP FOR BIDS IS A VERY RARE MAYBE A ONE OF A KIND NOT SURE HOW MANY WERE DONE LIKE THIS BACK IN 1996. I CANT FIND ANY INFO AND HAVE TRIED MANY TIMES THROUGH THE YEARS TO LOOK THIS UP. HERE WE HAVE A USA GIBSON LES PAUL STANDARD 1996 MODEL THAT HAS BEEN UNPLAYED AND STILL HAS THE ORIGINAL STRINGS ON IT.THIS IS NOT YOUR ORDINARY LES PAUL YOU JUST BUY OFF THE RACK AT THE MUSIC STORE. THIS ONE WAS HAND SIGNED IN NOV OF 1996 BY SOME OF THE GREATEST NAMES IN 50'S ROCK,BLUES AND R&B BEFORE AN AMFAR AIDS BENEFIT CONCERT. THE CONCERT WAS IN DALLAS TX, ON NOVEMBER 6, 1996.THE NAMES THAT SIGNED THE GUITAR ARE ON THE CERTIFICATE AND THE LATE GREAT B.B KING SIGNED IT AT THE GIBSON NASHVILLE FACTORY. I GOT THIS FROM A OLDER GENTLEMEN WHO GOT IT IN 1997. HE NEVER PLAYED IT OR CHANGED THE STRINGS JUST SAT IN HIS CLIMATE CONTROLLED MUSIC ROOM IN THE ORIGINAL CASE FOR YEARS. HE TOOK IT TO MANY GUITAR SHOWS HERE IN THE SOUTH FOR DISPLAY ONLY. HE TOLD ME HE HAD MANY PEOPLE ASK HIM IF HE WOULD SELL IT BUT REFUSED.I JUST CAUGHT HIM AT THE RIGHT MOMENT WHERE HE WANTED A GUITAR TO PLAY NOT JUST STORE AND LOOK AT. HE WANTED A FENDER CUSTOM SHOP HIGH END STRATOCASTER SO HE SOLD IT TO ME AND BOUGHT ONE. I GOT THIS IN 2007 AND ITS BEEN SITTING IN MY COLLECTION FOR ALMOST 10 YEARS NOW. I DONT GO TO GUITAR SHOWS AND THE GUITAR WAS ONLY TAKEN OUT OF THE CASE 6 TIMES IN THAT 10 YEARS. SO I THINK ITS TIME TO PASS IT ON TO SOMEONE WHO WILL ENJOY IT OR SHOW IT OFF. GUITAR HAS SAT IN THE ORIGINAL GIBSON 90'S BROWN TOLEX CASE FOR MOST ITS LIFE AND THE WHITE BINDING AND PICK GUARD HAS TURNED A VINTAGE CREAM COLOR. IT DOES HAVE SOME CASE CANDY WITH IT AND THE CASE LOCK HAS NEVER BEEN USED.I AM NOT SURE HOW MANY OF THE PEOPLE THAT SIGNED THIS ARE STILL ALIVE BUT THIS WILL ALWAYS BE A VINTAGE COLLECTIBLE AND GO UP IN PRICE FOR SURE.THERE WILL NEVER BE ANOTHER ONE LIKE THIS EVER. JUST TRY AND FIND A 1996 GIBSON LES PAUL STANDARD PERIOD THAT HAS HAS BEEN UNPLAYED NEARLY IMPOSSIBLE. "FOR THE SERIOUS COLLECTOR WHO HAS EVERYTHING"I PLAY GUITAR AND DRUMS AND HAVE A MASSIVE COLLECTION OF BOTH. I ALWAYS LOVE GETTING NEW TOYS AND WOULD BE OPEN TO ALL & ANY IDEAS.I COLLECT TONS OF THINGS SO ANY IDEAS WOULD BE CONSIDERED.PAY-PAL PREFERRED BUT OPEN TO OTHER WAYS OF PAYMENTUSA SHIPPING PREFERRED! I WOULD RATHER KEEP THIS PIECE OF USA MUSIC HISTORY IN THE STATES WHERE IT BELONGS.SHIPPING PRICE IS FOR CONT 48 ONLY AND "WILL BE THE SAME FOR ALL" !!!!!!AS-IS AUCTION,NO RETURNS,REFUNDS OR BUYERS REGRETS.THIS IS A VINTAGE PIECE OF HISTORY THAT IS STILL BRAND NEW SO IF THE POTS ARE SCRATCHEY!I REQUIRE INSURANCE!
