A cool mid 50s ES 295 we did an aged goldtop finish on for producer Bob Rock. These are one of my all time favorite guitars.
Keith Richards 50’s Les Paul Custom Replica
Examples of Our Work, Gibson Goldtops & Other Solidbodies, Top Stories
In spring of 2015 I was commissioned by producer extraordinaire Bob Rock to make a replica of Keith Richard’s handpainted late 50s Les Paul custom.

Early 50’s Les Paul Goldtop
Examples of Our Work, Gibson Goldtops & Other Solidbodies

Early 1953 Goldtop
Examples of Our Work, Gibson Goldtops & Other Solidbodies
Here is a great guitar… a very early 1953 wrap goldtop that left the factory as an all gold model. Luckily the original finish was in the control cavities and I matched my finish to that. This guitar is very lightweight and features the seldom seen thin ear wrap tailpiece.

Examples of Our Work, Gibson Archtops & Thin-Body Electrics
Here is a dot neck 335 project I recently completed. I got this from my good friend Bill Stapleton. Gibson made some great flamey ES 335s back in the 1980s when they first reissued the dotnecks. This one was hard to play because it was missing its neck! We made a replacement out of a […]
