Lovies Guitars is proud to offer this 2003 Gibson Custom Shop ’54 Les Paul Peter Frampton Signature Electric Guitar with a Gorgeous Black Ebony Finish! Do you feel like we do…about how sweet this Peter Frampton Les Paul Custom is? Lyrical quips aside, this Peter Frampton Les Paul Custom is a signature instrument with a ton of history behind it. In 1970, while opening for the Grateful Dead at the Filmore West, Peter Frampton was having a ton of trouble with feedback coming out of his hollowbody guitar on stage. A fan offered his 1954 Les Paul Custom as a solution to the feedback problem for the second nights show and Frampton liked the guitar so much he offered to buy it from the fan. The fan in turn decided to give the Les Paul away, free of charge. The guitar would go on to be featured on the best-selling live album of all time “Frampton Comes Alive”, and it’s all history from there. Sadly, Frampton’s original Comes Alive Les Paul Custom was lost in 1980 when a cargo plane crashed in Venezuela. But Gibson’s Custom Shop raised it from the ashes in the form of the Peter Frampton Les Paul, a guitar crafted in the image of the 1954/1960 Les Paul Custom but with a few new twists to the artists specifications. Wearing a high-gloss ebony black “black beauty” finish, gold-plated hardware, multi-ply body and headstock binding, and the decorative mother-of-pearl “split-diamond” headstock inlay and block position markers in its ebony fingerboard, the Peter Frampton Les Paul is the spitting image of the original. At Frampton’s request, however, it benefits from a slim-carved neck profile for optimum speed and a weight-relieved mahogany body and carved solid maple top that both lighten the load and enhance the tone. This Iconic Axe is in Excellent Shape with a fair bit of micro finish marks and a few minor indents on the top, the back has a fair bit of buckle wear toward the center, a minor dimple on the neck joint, a couple finish marks on the headstock, Collector Owned, 9/10! ALL Original-NO Breaks, Cracks or Repairs, Includes a Hand Signed COA and an Original Hard-Shell Case!!!!!
