Description
This listing is for a beautiful, and extremely rare, Gibson Joe Perry BoneYard Les Paul Standard.
Most of these are in private collections so here's your chance to grab one with an incredible book matched AAAAA type curly maple flametop.
The guitar has VOS finished aged nickle
hardware and factory Gibson Patent Applied For / PAF type BurstBucker pickups with Gibson Kluson style tuners.
Gibson
only made 500 of these Limited Edition guitars in 2004 and 2005 and two of those were a
Prototype. Almost of these guitars are in private collections so you'll rarely see one for sale, especially in this condition and with a Killer AAAAA type flametop like this.
The matching Gibson Custom Shop Bone Yard hardshell case is
included as well as the Custom Shop Care Pack ( case candy ) which
includes some tags literature the warranty card Custom Shop cleaning cloth, Custom
Shop picks, Custom Shop cord, and the truss rod tool. We'll also include several Aerosmith Joe Perry BoneYard Boys guitar
picks, a few 2005 Aerosmith Rockin The Joint Tour Itinerary books, two
Aerosmith Tour T Shirts, a new bottle of Joe Perry's Boneyard Hot Sauce,
and we'll ship the guitar in a factory Gibson Box. We'll also include the COA Certificate Of Authenticity.
When we acquired this beautiful guitar, we knew it was not the run of the mill BoneYard so we sent Gibson an email, requesting the history of it.
Mainly, we noticed the AAAA type flametop was exceptional, and it's more of a black and tan color, rather than the "greenish" tint that almost all of these tops have. Also notice, the inlays, are cream / pearl colored and they are not green, like almost all of the other Boneyard Les Pauls.
The Gibson rep carefuly looked over all of the pictures and details etc and he sent us a very nice reply. In that email, he said, ...,,,
" We do have a record of this Joe Perry Les Paul, it was made in 2005. This was a promotional guitar which was most likely purchased at a trade show or event or possibly even given to an artist (there are various ways these promotional guitars get out). ".............
We'll also include the email from Gibson, and some Aerosmith Tour Itinerary books, plus several Joe Perry guitar picks, some laminated Aerosmith tour passes, a couple of Aerosmith T Shirts and all of the Gibson Custom Shop items that are shown in the pictures.
We recently had the guitar checked out by our luthier and he was
very impressed. He's been an Authorized Gibson Repair Tech for over 15
years and a luthier for over 35 years. In that time he has worked on
thousands of guitars including hundreds of Les Pauls and a Martin for
Eric Clapton as well as the vintage Martin that Willie Nelson owns.
