mercykilling Posted July 10, 2010 Share Posted July 10, 2010 hey guys, hoping someone can help. i'm looking at what's reported to be a gibson custom LP, alpine white 3 pickup w/vine inlays. no split diamond headstock. says 'custom shop original' on back, supposed to be a 91. gibson says they can't tell me anything about it and that it may be a one-off custom order. any insights to share?

jamman Posted July 10, 2010 Share Posted July 10, 2010 funny i think i saw that guitar in the last couple of days on a video online. If i recall correctly it's called the "tree of life" or " vine of life". from what i recall they made about 100 of them . rare i'd say . This is about the closest you'll get now. check it out. http://www2.gibson.com/Products/Electric-Guitars/Les-Paul/Gibson-Custom/Les-Paul-Ultima.aspx Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Laaz Posted July 10, 2010 Share Posted July 10, 2010 Gibson made the Ultima that had the tree of life, but the headstock veneer was different than this one. I would request better quality photos. All the photos on the auction are taken at strange angles. 1991 GIBSON LES PAUL CUSTOM Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
