Gibson Les Paul Tie Dye - Tonys Guitars
Gibson Les Paul Tie Dye Guitar No 14
Tony Mckenzie has a great collection of many leading brands of electric guitars including Gibson, Fender, PRS, Ibanez and others. Check them out from the 'Tony's Guitars' section of this website. While the images are not huge, the quality is - so you get a real idea of just what this guitar is like in real life.
Many are reviewed on the reviews pages so don't forget to check those reviews out. Also don't forget to visit the IMAGE GALLERY with a section showing Tony McKenzie's guitars in hi resolution images. Many of the guitars are quite rare now.
The Tie Dye Les Paul was bought Second Hand in 1997 and is a rare guitar,
this one being serial number #14 out of only 101 ever made by George St
Pierre a Gibson Luther.
The guitar is basically a Les Paul standard, but St Pierre figured out a way of actually putting cloth over the body and neck of the guitar and then being able to finish over the top of that.
There is not too much known about George St Pierre except to say that at one time I did have a few conversations with him. He later left Gibson and started making Tie Dye guitars of his own - at least he offered refinishing of the real Gibson guitars, and he had many designs.
But I am not so sure he still offers that - the guitar business is a tough place to be.
In any case, these 101 Gibson Tie Dye guitars are very likely to never be made again and that's why I have this one. It plays like a regular Les Paul but looks like no other.
In FACT each of the 101 guitars St Pierre made were different. Some were reasonably similar, and I have seen very many of them. But I have never seen another one like this one - ever.
Here are the features:
- The Gibson Les Paul Tie Dye 1995
- Bought in 1997 as a collectors guitar
- Never Played
- Made Personally by George St Pierre at Gibson
- The only one with this Design
- Just 101 ever made - ant this is one of the best in our view
- Probably one of the very few unplayed guitars
- There is checking to the finish
Case: Exterior: Black Reptile Pattern Hard shell Interior: Black Crushed Velvet with Black Shroud: Silver 'Gibson USA' logo
I have also added some of another Tie Dye I used to own below in picture form - basically like my #14 except that the other one was a different colour...
Hope you kie these images.....
