In 1960, at the request of its original owner, Gibson did what would be unthinkable today; they painted an Ebony finish over a beautiful Sunburst Les Paul. At the time however, the motivation for this odd special order was simple, as the player placing couldn’t afford the higher cost of a Les Paul Custom but had fallen in love with the shiny Black nitrocellulose finish. Over time, evidence of what lies beneath the factory applied Ebony finish began to present itself and a very sought after 1960 Les Paul was in the making. Today, a guitar known as “Blackburst” resides in private collection. To celebrate this exceptional guitar, Gibson Custom is pleased to offer a very limited run of the "Blackburst". Each guitar comes with a before photo, showing the original Burst finish and top underneath the Ebony. A Collector's Choice COA is also included. Also comes with all paperwork and hang tags. Take a look at the up close pictures to see the cherry burst showing through. This guitar is #36 and has been kept in pet free, smoke free environment.
