For many years Gary Moore has played a late 1950's Les Paul and is revered amongst guitar lovers for his technique and tone - particularly his ability to sustain a note ... Gibson have now re-created all that Gary Moore loved about his 1950's Les Paul within a new Gary Moore signature guitar built around the Gibson BFG model.
Irish rocker Moore, preferred the non-pretentious simplification of the BFG model and has worked with the luthiers at Gibson to achieve a unique blend of classic old features combined with cutting edge guitar technology. The Mahogany body and Maple top have been painstakingly chambered so that the guitar feels light and well balanced but doesn't lose any of the resonance and sustain that the tone woods provide ...
The rough mill finish allows the natural grain of the wood to appear on the surface of the instrument which is then hand sanded to give the instrument that "well-worn" relic appearance. The neck is also Mahogany with a Rosewood fret board and a thicker, rounder profile, emulating the same neck shapes found on Moore?s personal and original Les Paul Standards from the late 1950s. The neck is machined in Gibson?s rough mill using wood shapers to make the initial cuts. But once the fingerboard gets glued on, the rest?including the final sanding?is done by hand.
The pick-ups are a blend of young and old with a P90 in the neck position and a Burstbucker 3 located by the bridge, the guitar is finished with a smooth coat of satin nitrocellulose and painted in an attractive Lemon Burst finish ...

Gary Moore holds hero status amongst many rock guitar players and his popularity will no doubt fuel interest in this Gibson Les Paul Signature Model attractively presented in Lemonburst .... Moore has been quoted saying that the core element in acheiving the correct guitar sound lies within the combination of the correct tone woods and pick-up blends.
Subsequently he has worked closely with the luthiers at Gibson to produce a model that meets all of his requirements and yet is still not excessively expensive ... This guitar is surprisingly light when first picked up thanks to the chambered body, and although the cosmetics do not contain as much wow-factor as on other Gibson models this guitar still has a certain elegance to it ...
Tone-wise this Gibson Les Paul ticks all of the classic sound boxes and the mixture of the P90 and Burstbucker pick-ups create plenty of light and shade tonal options with the P90 voiced slightly brighter than the Burstbucker. This is perhaps one of the most perfect combinations for those amongst you playing a mixture of both rock and blues ... Check out this instrument at the Nevada Music Warehouse now ...
