Gibson Custom Shop Historic 1957 Les Paul Goldtop Vintage Original Spec Electric Guitar (with Case)

Seth Lover's fabled "Patent Applied For" humbucking pickups were added to the Les Paul model in 1957.

Gibson Custom Shop Historic SG Standard Vintage Original Spec Electric Guitar (with Case)

Featuring an ultra thin, two-horned body, the SG Series addressed two of what Ted McCarty saw as the major issues of the now-retired Les Paul body style: weight and limited access to the upper treble register.
