Reserve one today at your authorized Gibson Custom dealer. The effort of recreating this legend has been undertaken with the highest standards of materials and craftsmanship, and each of the resulting guitars includes a very special package of commemorative items-among them, a Duane Allman Cherry Sunburst 1959 Les Paul documentary video hosted by Lee Roy Parnell, a custom dust cover, and more-to make ownership a lifelong and memorable event for the few who will have the pleasure of calling the Duane Allman Cherry Sunburst ♅9 Les Paul their own.
In a strictly limited run of no more than 150 hand-aged guitars plus another 150 treated to Gibson Custom´s proprietary VOS finishing process, the Duane Allman Cherry Sunburst 1959 Les Paul captures the precise look, feel and tone of a guitar known to be at the pinnacle of what is already a rare breed. “There are a lot of pictures of Duane over a short period of time, which made it difficult to determine which guitar he was playing on any given recording.” However, because Duane´s life and career were so short, much of his fame was coming just as he passed away,” said Lee Roy, following whirlwind tours of Georgia, Ohio, and Tennessee. “We believed that this particular guitar was the one that Duane had used most often to record and perform live. Through equally uncompromising attention to detail, from intimate and unlimited study of the original, Gibson Custom brings you the Duane Allman Cherry Sunburst ♅9 Les Paul, a precise recreation of Duane´s most recorded guitar, complete with a previously untold history to back it up.ĭuring extensive interviews with Rock and Roll historians, previous owners of the original guitar and friends of Duane and the Allman Brothers Band, Lee Roy unveiled the guitar´s little-known history as a key part of the artist´s short-lived yet influential career. Now, for the first time, through painstaking and unprecedented research, famed guitarist, Country Songwriter Hall of Fame inductee, and Gibson historian Lee Roy Parnell has woven together the threads of a scattered and enigmatic story to finally conclude that the Cherry Sunburst 1959 Les Paul was Duane´s most recorded guitar, and an undeniable gem amid his bountiful legacy.
The trick is, Duane bought, borrowed, and traded so many guitars in his working life-limited though it was-that it has previously been difficult to know exactly which guitar contributed to which recording. His touch, tone, and unbridled musicianship set benchmarks that remain as vital today as they were four decades ago, and his Gibson-fueled sound has been much idolized as a result. During his short life and brief career, Duane Allman created a legacy that continues to inspire generations of musicians.
