Gibson / '58 Hot Rod Les Paul Custom / 2008 / Hot Rod Red - With Flames! / Guitar
|
Gibson Hot Rod 58 Les Paul. Celebrating a love affair that began in the 1950s, HOT ROD magazine and the Gibson Custom Shop have welded the raw power of a souped-up automobile to the sweet vintage tone of a ’58 Les Paul to produce the Hot Rod ’58 Les Paul. This beautifully reproduced 1958 Les Paul brings to rock and roll what a ’57 Chevy brings to the road. With ghosted flames licking a deep translucent red maple top, a pair of blue tailpipe pickups, a brushed chrome pickguard and a HOT ROD engraved truss rod cover, this guitar is barely street legal. Limited edition of 150.

Case and Guitar in “near perfect” condition – the neck on this is definitely a ’50′s chunky baseball bat style neck – but the sustain from the phat neck and long tenon joint are incredible.

POSH Guitars, UK 
Philip's Old Second Hand Guitars (POSH Guitars) Has arisen not only out of my indefatigable enthusiasm for all things wooden with strings, but also from my love of music and creativity.
I firmly believe in a Creator God , who in his creativity gave us a gift. That gift being music, and in our expression of music we give voice to our passion for God.
I am not a company, but I buy guitars of a high quality, use them for a while and then sell them on. Sometimes this allows me to make a small profit, and I shift that profit on into financing the supply of quality instruments for Christian Musicians who are actively working in a recognised Church fellowship.
In this regard I'm happy to announce that Harvey Gerlitz has allowed me to distribute his Guitar Care Products in the UK, and hopefully through these establish a finance base to expand this mission.
In addition to resourcing Christian worship and creativity, 10% of any profits will be automatically passed on to financing Christian work in Africa, building orphanages to care for the victims of the AIDS epidemic there.
All items purchased will be despatched within 24 hours of received payment. Postage in the UK is by First Class postage, outside the UK it's by Air Mail.
