In 1968, a young Billy F Gibbons and a few friends owned a 1936 Packard and loaned it to an aspiring actress friend who needed a car to drive from Texas to Hollywood for a movie audition. They didn’t think the car would make it out of Texas, but she made it all the way to Hollywood and got the part. Figuring the car must have divine connections, they named it Pearly Gates. When asked what they wanted her to do with the car, they told her to sell it. She wired the money back to Texas, and with Billy’s $250 share of the proceeds, he purchased a near-mint 1959 Les Paul™ Standard from a Houston-area rancher. Again, divine providence seemed to be at work, and the car’s nickname was transferred to the guitar.
Now, Gibson Custom is incredibly proud to partner with Billy Gibbons on the Billy Gibbons “Pearly Gates” 1959 Les Paul Standard Collector’s Edition. Based on in-depth examination and cutting-edge 3D scans and precise measurements of the priceless vintage original (Billy has famously turned down an offer of five million dollars for Pearly Gates), and artfully aged to match the current condition of Billy’s guitar by the Murphy Lab, it isn’t just a recreation of the original guitar; it is a virtual clone of it.
The Billy Gibbons Pearly Gates 1959 Les Paul Standard features a lightweight, one-piece mahogany body with a two-piece AAA figured maple top, hand-selected to match Pearly Gates’ top as closely as possible. The top’s contours, as with the rest of the build, were replicated using 3D scans of the original guitar.
The profile of the one-piece mahogany neck was also recreated in precise detail, giving these recreations the same amazing playing feel that Billy Gibbons has enjoyed for decades. The bound Brazilian rosewood fretboard features 22 medium jumbo frets and aged cellulose trapezoid inlays.
Not only the nitrocellulose lacquer finish, but also the hardware has been expertly aged by the Murphy Lab, including the ABR-1 Historic no-wire bridge and Stop Bar tailpiece, the Kluson® Deluxe single-line, single-ring tuners, and all plastic components.
Gibson Pickup Shop Product Manager Jared Brandon extensively examined the original Gibson P.A.F. humbucker™ pickups, so named by guitarists for the Patent Applied For stickers on their undersides, in Pearly Gates. They are recreated here in exacting detail based on 3D scans and scientific analysis of the originals, with Murphy Lab-aged covers and mounting rings, Alnico 3 (rhythm) and Alnico 5 (treble) magnets, Double Vintage White bobbins, and historic-spec plain enamel wire, delivering the Billy Gibbons-approved tone that has propelled countless hit recordings.
Utilizing the legendary acoustic properties of authentic Brazilian rosewood, we have created an instrument that honors the past while setting a new benchmark for the future. All of the other details, from the hand-applied replica aging to the cloned pickups and period-correct appointments, serve one purpose: to put the soul and tone of “Pearly Gates” in the hands of players and collectors. To cement its status as an heirloom, each of the 30 instruments in this exceptional limited run will be hand-signed by Billy Gibbons himself.
The sound of ZZ Top has one constant: Miss Pearly Gates, the famous 1959 Les Paul Standard wielded by guitarist Billy Gibbons, has been the band’s tonal cornerstone since its inception and has appeared on every ZZ Top album. Billy’s guitar collection is one of the most extensive and enviable on the planet, but his Holy Grail, his favorite guitar that he turns to time and again, is Miss Pearly Gates. While his guitar collection has grown over the years as he’s searched for another guitar to rival the sound and feel of Pearly Gates, he’s never found one that could do so. Now, Gibson Custom has captured the exact physical DNA of perhaps the most famous 1959 Les Paul Standard in existence. Here’s your opportunity to get as close as humanly possible to the heavenly tone and feel of the famous Pearly Gates. An aged Lifton™ hardshell case, guitar strap, and certificate of authenticity are also included.
Gibson Custom is giving collectors and fans the chance to take a step closer to tone heaven with a strictly limited Gibson Custom Billy Gibbons “Pearly Gates” 1959 Les Paul Standard Collector’s Edition hand-signed guitar and event package, which includes an invitation to attend an exclusive evening with Billy Gibbons at the Gibson Garage Nashville. The evening will be the ultimate fan experience and include a private Q&A with Billy Gibbons, an intimate live performance, a personal meet-and-greet and individual photo opportunity, and more. Access to the Billy Gibbons Pearly Gates Experience is reserved exclusively for the 30 purchasers of the Collector’s Edition guitar. Call the Gibson Garage Nashville on (615) 933-6000 now to reserve your place.

Explore the Magic of Korina and Brazilian Rosewood
Gibson Custom Shop is the pinnacle of craftsmanship, quality, and sound excellence. Each instrument celebrates Gibson's legacy through accuracy, authenticity, and attention to detail.
This is it - one of the rarest and most desirable guitars ever made, brought back through the magic and artistry of the Gibson Custom Shop. The Gibson Explorer™ was way ahead of its time when it was introduced in 1958, and only 19 were shipped that year, but it has become very popular in the years since then. All of the classic vintage Explorer features have been 100% accurately recreated in this Collector's Edition model, right down to the cases, which are just as historically accurate as the guitars themselves. Featuring an ABR-1 bridge and Stop Bar tailpiece, a korina body, Custombucker pickups, korina neck, Brazilian rosewood fretboard, two volume and one tone control with CTS® pots and a phone book capacitor, gold hardware, Kluson® tuners, and a 4-ply off-white pickguard. It also features Custom Aging by the skilled artisans of the Murphy Lab. The Murphy Lab Custom Aged finish treatment, paired with Custom Aged hardware, simulates decades of light play wear, giving it the unique character, vibe, and feel of an original example from the Gibson Golden Era. This limited run of 19 guitars is only available in the USA.

Jeff Beck is gone but never forgotten – widely considered one of the best guitarists in history, capable of playing virtually anything in his own unique, soulful style. And like Jimmy Page and Eric Clapton, Beck got his start playing the Yardbirds, making groundbreaking music on a ’59 Les Paul Standard, which he continued to use and share with the likes of Page and Keith Richards, as documented in many photographs.
The “YardBurst” is as indelible to Jeff Beck’s playing history as his Oxblood Les Paul. Its unique and highly identifiable traits include classic white bobbin humbuckers and a black single ply pickguard. This recreation is true to how it appeared during Jeff’s hallowed Yardbirds days, with a custom Murphy Lab aging treatment, a custom hardshell case, and case candy commemorating the life of the legend that is Jeff Beck.

There are very few guitars that can claim to be as instantly recognizable and iconic as Jimmy Page's 1969 EDS-1275 Doubleneck. The photos of him playing it on stage with Led Zeppelin are indelible to rock 'n' roll history. While Gibson has been making doubleneck electric guitars since 1958, Jimmy was the player who defined the EDS-1275 from the day it was delivered to him. The Gibson EDS-1275 allowed him to play the numerous 6 and 12-string acoustics and electric guitar parts of Stairway to Heaven during live performances. He later used the EDS-1275 for The Song Remains the Same, The Rain Song, Celebration Day, Tangerine, and more recently at The Rock & Roll Hall of Fame in November 2023.

The 1957 Les Paul™ Reissue with TV Jones Power’Tron, VOS, Gold Sparkle Top brings a bold new voice to one of Gibson’s most beloved classics. Part of the Gibson Custom Limited Edition Collection, it represents the adventurous spirit that has defined countless Made to Measure custom orders and celebrates the skill and imagination of the artisans at the Gibson Custom Shop in Nashville, Tennessee. This reissue channels the unmistakable charisma of a late 50s Les Paul, then elevates it with a dazzling Gold Sparkle finish and a unique electronic configuration that gives it a sonic identity all its own.
The solidbody construction begins with a mahogany back and a carved maple top, joined with the same precision and using the same materials as those used on prized originals from the late 50s. Its VOS nitrocellulose lacquer finish brings a softly aged character that enhances the Gold Sparkle top’s depth and dimension, while the single ply top binding completes the classic Les Paul silhouette. There’s no weight relief—just the full, expressive resonance of traditional tonewoods working in harmony.
The mahogany neck’s 1950s Chunky D profile delivers the substantial feel players associate with some of the best examples from 1957, with a long neck tenon that reinforces sustain and stability. A rosewood fretboard with narrow/tall frets, cellulose trapezoid inlays, single ply binding, and a 12 inch radius offers an inviting, vintage correct playing experience. The 24.75-inch scale length, nylon nut, and Kluson® Deluxe tuning machines round out a period-authentic feature set.
What truly sets this Limited Edition model apart is its use of TV Jones® Power’Tron pickups. While a 1957 Les Paul Reissue is typically voiced with Custombucker humbuckers designed to replicate Patent Applied For pickups, the Power’Tron delivers a distinctive sound of its own. Its tonal character carries some of the familiar DNA of a Patent Applied For humbucking pickup, infused with elements found in a TV Jones Filter’Tron, but with more windings, higher output, and a darker overall response than a Filter’Tron. The result is a compelling hybrid voice—full, articulate, dynamic, and well-suited to the Les Paul’s rich acoustic foundation. Two volume and two tone controls, along with a three-way toggle, provide familiar, intuitive control of this unique sonic palette.
Nickel hardware, an ABR 1 Tune O Matic™ bridge, a Stop Bar tailpiece, cream plastics, gold Top Hat knobs, and nickel pickup covers contribute to a classic late 50s aesthetic. Each instrument includes a Lifton™ reissue hardshell case and a Certificate of Authenticity.
This Limited Edition model captures the soul of a 1957 Les Paul while offering a fresh, powerful voice—proving that tradition and innovation can shine brilliantly together.

The Gibson Custom 1957 Les Paul™ Reissue, Ultra Heavy Aged, Refin Burst, captures the magic, muscle, and mystique of the instrument that shaped the sound of modern music. Created as part of Gibson Custom’s Limited Edition Collection, a family of exclusive, small-batch instruments inspired by standout Made to Measure builds and the ingenuity of the Nashville Custom Shop team, this reissue brings together the essence of a true 50s Les Paul with a striking, stage-ready finish that sets it apart from anything that came before.
This model has been meticulously Ultra Heavy Aged by the artisans of the Murphy Lab, giving it the character, texture, and unmistakable personality of a well-loved original from the first Gibson Golden Age. The Ultra Heavy Aged nitrocellulose lacquer finish shows authentic lacquer checking and softened edges and offers the tactile feel of a long-cherished vintage instrument. Every mark, line, and accent is applied by hand, ensuring a uniquely convincing vintage appearance.
A solid mahogany body topped with a carved maple cap delivers the classic Les Paul tonal foundation, with warmth, sustain, and definition. It is framed with single-ply top binding and uses traditional solidbody construction, with no weight relief. The mahogany neck features a 1950s Chunky D profile and is joined to the body with a long neck tenon, offering the substantial feel prized by 50s-era Les Paul players. It’s paired with a rosewood fretboard featuring cellulose trapezoid inlays, narrow/tall frets, a 12-inch radius, and a period correct nylon nut.
At the heart of this reissue are a pair of Custombucker Alnico 3 pickups with Double Classic White bobbins—no covers, pure attitude. This pickup set is celebrated for its airy top end, sweet midrange bloom, and dynamic responsiveness, echoing the tonal character of the earliest Patent Applied For–era humbuckers™. From warm cleans to growling overdrive, these Custombuckers emphasize nuance and musicality, and are paired with two volume and two tone controls and a three-way toggle switch.
The hardware includes an ABR 1 Tune O Matic™ bridge, a Stop Bar tailpiece, Kluson® Deluxe tuners, cream plastics, and heavy aged nickel-plated components aged to match the guitar’s aesthetic. Each instrument includes a Certificate of Authenticity and a Lifton™ reissue hardshell case.
The 1957 Les Paul Reissue, Ultra Heavy Aged, Refin Burst, is a vivid expression of Gibson Custom craftsmanship—bold, expressive, beautifully aged, and unmistakably built for players who appreciate both history and individuality.

The Gibson Custom SG™ Custom with Koa Top, Gloss, Walnut brings a bold new voice to one of the most celebrated designs in the Gibson lineup. Part of the Gibson Custom Limited Edition Collection, this model is inspired by years of standout Made to Measure special orders and the creative vision of the artisans at the Gibson Custom Shop in Nashville, Tennessee. Its foundation is unmistakably SG, yet every detail has been carefully considered to deliver a striking instrument worthy of the Custom name.
At the center of its visual identity is a beautiful koa top, an inspired pairing with the guitar’s solid mahogany body. The koa adds depth, complexity, and a subtle luminosity beneath the gloss Walnut nitrocellulose lacquer finish, giving this SG Custom a rich presence that stands apart from traditional configurations. The body is left without weight relief, allowing the materials’ natural mass and resonance to shape its voice.
The neck is carved from mahogany to the SG Custom profile. Historic and Modern SG Customs have neck thicknesses identical to the revered “Carmelita” ’59 Les Paul™ at the 1st and 12th frets, but feature a flatter profile and a unique shape. The profile offers a substantial yet comfortable feel that invites expressive playing across the entire fretboard. A bound ebony fretboard provides a fast, smooth playing surface that is accented by mother-of-pearl block inlays and equipped with reissue medium jumbo frets. The headstock is adorned with a mother-of-pearl Gibson logo and the Custom split diamond inlay, underscoring its elevated pedigree, and fitted with Grover® Rotomatic® tuners and a Corian® nut.
Electronics include a 490R humbucker™ in the neck position and a 498T humbucker™ at the bridge, a pairing chosen for versatility, balance, and power. The 490R delivers warmth and richness, while the 498T adds more aggression, mids, and crisp articulation. Together, they offer a wide palette suitable for clean, edge-of-breakup, or full-throttle hard rock and metal tones. Control comes by way of two volume and two tone knobs, partnered with a three-way pickup selector toggle switch for effortless command of the guitar’s tones.
Gold hardware underscores the instrument’s Custom level appointments, including an ABR-1 Tune-O-Matic™ bridge, matching gold pickup covers, and a Stop Bar tailpiece. Black plastics and black Top Hat knobs with gold inserts complete the aesthetic.
Each Gibson Custom SG Custom with Koa Top, Gloss, Walnut includes a Modern hardshell case and a Certificate of Authenticity, affirming its place in the Limited Edition Collection. This guitar is built for players who value tradition, craftsmanship, and individuality, all brought together in a distinctive interpretation of a timeless classic.

The Gibson John Lennon J-160E Peace Acoustic-Electric Guitar is replica of Lennon's 1962 J-160E, which he used extensively in films and recordings. The reissue features an antique natural finish, laminated spruce top, ladder-top bracing, a P-90 pickup, authentic wood body binding, and a signature truss rod cover. It perfectly re-creates Lennon's Gibson axe as it appeared during 1969's Bed-In after stripping off the psychedelic paint job he commissioned in 1967. It's historically accurate right down to the strap based on the one John used. The original Gibson guitar is now displayed in the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame, and this re-creation is offered as a limited, numbered edition of 750.

Nick Lucas was one of the most popular American entertainers in the world in the 1920s. Known as The Crooning Troubadour, he performed on the vaudeville circuit, played solo and also played jazz with big bands, played command performances for European royalty, and was among the very first musicians to play and record guitar solos. He was also one of the first radio stars to perform with a guitar, and his recordings influenced the likes of Merle Travis. Today, his artistry is recognized as contributing to the popularity of the guitar, which is perfect for vocal accompaniment and an excellent solo instrument. Frank Campbell, Gibson’s General Sales Manager at the time, approached Lucas and tried to convince him to switch to playing Gibson guitars. Lucas said he would–if Gibson would build one to his specifications, and Gibson readily agreed. The result was the Nick Lucas Special, which was introduced in 1926 and was Gibson’s first artist signature model. One of the things that Lucas requested was a compact but deeper body for better bass response. The Nick Lucas Special went through a range of variations in body woods, bridges, and other features, but they all had a deeper body in common, which contributes to the model’s unique voice, which is rich and surprisingly full and complex for a small-bodied instrument.
Now, Gibson Custom is proud to introduce the 1929 Nick Lucas Special Light Aged. Based on those early artist models, the mahogany body has a similar shape as the Gibson L-00, but it is significantly deeper, with an approximate 4.082” body depth at the head and 4.52” depth at the tail. The bound body features multi-ply top binding with gold sparkle and multi-ply back binding. The top is thermally aged red spruce, and the L-2 style rosette also features gold sparkle, which is one of the visual hallmarks of the Nick Lucas Special. The mahogany neck joins the body at the 12th fret and has a C-shaped profile. The bound rosewood fretboard is equipped with 20 frets and is adorned with mother-of-pearl Nick Lucas inlays with engraved details. Gold Waverly tuners with ivoroid oval buttons are installed on the headstock, which also features a vintage-style “The Gibson” logo in mother-of-pearl. The rosewood rectangular open slot bridge has a bone saddle, and the nut and bridge pins are also bone. The Argentine Grey finish features Light Aging from the artisans of the Murphy Lab. The Murphy Lab Light Aged finish treatment, paired with lightly aged hardware, simulates decades of light play wear, giving it the unique character, vibe, and feel of an original example from the Gibson Golden Era. The 1929 Nick Lucas Special Light Aged comes packed in a red line-style hardshell case. Here’s your opportunity to own one of the most distinctive-sounding acoustic guitars that Gibson has ever produced–a small-bodied masterpiece with serious depth and a big sound to match.

Introduced in a square-shoulder configuration in 1962, the Country Western was originally created in 1955 as a variation of the popular Gibson Southern Jumbo model. With the body shape of a Hummingbird™ but in a Natural finish and having an unadorned tortoise pickguard instead of the Hummingbird’s casted, graphics-enhanced pickguard, the Country Western delivers wonderful tonal quality and a unique look that has been a resounding hit with players from the moment it was first released, all the way up to the present day; it has been one of our most requested acoustic models for reissue since the 1990s.
This 1963 Country Western features a thermally aged Sitka spruce top that is supported with Gibson’s traditional hand-scalloped X-bracing for vintage-inspired tone, solid mahogany back and sides with multi-ply top and back binding, a mahogany neck with a 24.75” (628.65 mm) scale length, round profile, and a bound Indian rosewood fretboard with a 12” fretboard radius, 20 standard frets, and mother-of-pearl parallelogram inlays. The neck’s compound dovetail neck-to-body joint is fitted using hot hide glue. The rosewood bridge is a traditional belly-up design, and the bridge saddle, nut, and bridge pins are all bone, and the classic Country Western tortoise pickguard is aged. The tuning machines are smooth-turning, aged nickel Gotoh® tuners with white buttons for solid tuning stability. The 1963 Country Western features heavy aging by the artisans of the Murphy Lab to give it the vibe, look, and playing feel of a well-loved, longtime musical companion. Expect a heavy weather-checked finish, heavy belt buckle wear, light arm wear, and light neck wear. Here’s your chance to own one of Gibson’s most requested vintage acoustic guitar models, with all the tone, vibe, playability, and appearance of a well-seasoned vintage original without the vintage price tag and potential issues that can accompany a sixty-year-old guitar. A period-correct black with goldenrod interior hardshell case from Gibson Custom is included, along with a certificate of authenticity.

The guitar that started the legacy of Gibson Jumbo acoustics. When Gibson released the Jumbo in 1934, it was larger than any other guitar Gibson offered, and it made for a remarkable instrument. Only built for two production years, these rare instruments quickly became artist favorites and best represent the Gibson sound heard by world-renowned artists and collectors. Thoughtfully recreated with a Thermally Aged Adirondack red spruce top, hot hide glue top bracing, mahogany back and sides, traditional 25'' scale length, and a historic-style V neck profile, the Gibson Acoustic Custom Shop is proud to bring back a legend, the 1934 Jumbo.

During a time when cultural optimism was low, Gibson dreamed up a new line of "advanced" instruments; included in those models was the Advanced Jumbo. Due to low production numbers from 1936-1939, this model largely flew under the radar even though it was a supreme sounding and performing instrument. The Gibson Acoustic Custom Shop is pleased to once again offer the Gibson 1936 Advanced Jumbo, outfitted with a Thermally Aged Adirondack red spruce top, rosewood back and sides, and premium Waverly tuners. The 1936 Advanced Jumbo brings back all the tone and prestige that made these such a sought-after instrument by artist and collectors.
