Featured in our July 17th Signature Vintage Guitars Auction we have a Gibson Les Paul Custom made for Sir Paul McCartney.
This guitar was made for Paul for being a guest on the HBO special, Les Paul and Friends: A Tribute Concert. Guests of the show included Paul McCartney, Eddie Van Halen, David Gilmour, B.B. King, Carly Simon, etc. Gibson made a custom guitar for each artist. The guitar ultimately comes from Robert Meyrowitz, the Executive Producer for Les Paul and Friends. Meyrowitz was also the producer for The King Biscuit Flower Hour and is a co-founder of the Ultimate Fighting Championship (UFC).
“Whoever owns this guitar owns a double piece of history. A Les Paul Gibson Guitar made for and played by Paul McCartney.”
LOA from Meyrowitz
