SEE THE VIDEOS BELOW OF THE BEAST! For sale is the most desired Gibson Collector’s Choice Les Paul of them all… I present to you “THE BEAST”, Collector’s Choice #8. The original “BEAST” Les Paul might very well be the greatest guitar ever made by Gibson. And this Gibson Custom Shop reissue was made to closely match the 1959 Les Paul specs of the original, and includes custom humbuckers wound specifically for this guitar to match the amazing sound of the original. And now “THE BEAST” Collector’s Choice reissue guitars have taken on a life of their own because they are so prized by guitar collectors from around the globe! It’s a favorite of guitar legend Joe Bonamassa, and no guitar collection is complete without “THE BEAST”! The original “BEAST” is the now famous guitar that helped launch Bernie Marsden’s career of Whitesnake fame. Early in Bernie’s career the story is that a local guitar dealer appeared out of nowhere and brought Bernie this guitar at a live show. The man said this was the guitar for him! When Bernie first used the guitar on stage everyone listening heard his new incredible sound and wondered if he had turned up his amplifier, but it was just the guitar! Bernie and his audience had just experienced the breathtaking awe of THE BEAST, as the sound of his playing cut through the mix like never before! For this Collector’s Choice guitar reissue, Gibson has analyzed every square inch of Bernie’s original 1959 Les Paul to bring you their closest copy of both looks and sound of the original. It is almost impossible to get your hands on one today because few people ever want to sell one. And this one comes with its original case and certificate of authenticity, and also original hang tags and case candy. I will upload more pics soon, and a pic of the COA, and the case candy! Don’t miss your chance to own THE BEAST! It is quite simply like no other guitar you will ever play! This one was collector owned and never left the house. It has been played only a handful of times. Now keep in mind this is an aged guitar which means the wear on this guitar and other Collector’s Choice series guitars was created artfully by Gibson, in the Gibson Custom Shop, to make this reissue look like the original BEAST, putting on wear exactly as it is on Bernie’s BEAST. That is how Gibson made them, by hand, and therefore each one is ever so slightly different. You will LOVE this guitar. It plays like a dream. You’ll be part of a small circle of lucky people on planet earth that get to own THE BEAST! AND BE SURE TO WATCH THE ANDERTON’S VIDEO BELOW WHICH SHOWCASES “THE BEAST” IT’S INCREDIBLE!!!
