ARTIST PROOF #4
(Photos and information courtesy of London Vintage Guitars of Denmark Street, UK & Amsterdam, NL.)
Exceptionally rare pre-production “Artist Proof” model. Note the signature from the Reverend Billy F. Gibbons on the back of the control plate.
Recreated in excruciating detail from Billy’s ’59 Les Paul Standard, dubbed “Pearly Gates”, that’s been on every ZZ Top record. This one is #4 of a hand-numbered “Artist Proof” run, out of a grand total of 10.
Amazing guitar, 8.7 pounds, incredible Billy Gibbons Burst nitrocellulose lacquer finish on a flamed maple top, a matched pair of Seymour Duncan Pearly Gates humbuckers with lovely aged nickel covers.

• Number 4 of 10
