2002 Gibson Custom Shop BOB MARLEY Les Paul Special Limited Edition Tom Murphy-aged Natural, Excellent, Original Hard, $4,500.00
Incredible Gibson Custom Shop recreation of Bob Marley's Les Paul Special that is in his Kingston Jamaica museum. All-original with original case, all paperwork included except COA, and display case.
Bob probably acquired it around 1972/73 in London. At that time the guitar already had few mods done to it; the ABR-1 Tune-o-matic Bridge was installed, and a white binding was added to the headstock.
The guitar remained in this state until 1979 when it was sent to Roger Mayer. Bob requested something unique done to it which will not influence the sound itself. Roger decided to install a custom made brushed hardened aluminium pickguard and replace the switch plate with the one that was shaped like a football. He also replaced the tuners with Schallers, and re-wired the guitar completely. The original P-90 pickups were not touched.
A beautiful recreation of an iconic guitar.
