Holy Grail Chasers have we got something special for you!

1952, 1st year Gibson Les Paul!

This one is 💯 correct and 1,000% dialed in coming directly to us from the Joe Bonamassa Collection.
Joe is a gear head like the rest of us and is always buying and selling, with that said we’re not adding a premium because he owned it, you just get the benefit of enjoying a guitar that has been completely dialed in.
We do have a document verifying that Joe owned the instrument and it is included in the sale if you're into that kind of thing.

52’s are not only the origin story of the Les Paul but are a highly underrated bunch of instruments.
Loads of people make comments about neck angles and trap tailpieces or weak P90’s; but they must not have played any of these 1st year Lesters.

BMVG has owned several 52 & 53 LP’s and they have all been consistently great guitars. This one is excellent however. A flat out monster player that is original down to the frets which are in amazing condition.

This bad boy is light weight, nimble, one of our favorite neck profiles which is again MUCH smaller than most people realize .87 at 1st with hardly any shoulders and it boasts a set of smoking P90’s that both read in the mid 7's. That's PAF territory friends...

Excellent instrument, original condition and an excellent pedigree. What more could you ask for?
Original case is in, you guessed it! Excellent condition.

Don’t hesitate to reach out!

Bank wire and check are the preferred method of payment. Invoices can be sent to use credit cards additional fees may apply.

Overnight shipping after payment is received is my preference. There are always exceptions so shipping will be discussed on a case by case basis.

Accurate descriptions, photographs and conversation before a sale is imparitive to minimize any potential returns. Vintage guitars don't like being shipped back and forth. An authentication period can be granted and will be discussed and evaluated on a case by case basis.
