The Story

Bella Voce Les Paul 5A Quilt Top Cobra

Just as much a work of art as it is a functional electric guitar: this is a one of a kind and only very lightly played Gibson Les Paul Bella Voce from the Gibson Custom Crimson division with a Cobra finish, built with exquisite pieces of 5A-grade quilted maple with F-holes, paired with a chambered mahogany body, along with masterfully engraved metal parts and pearloid/abalone inlay work. The guitars neck heel is carved out with a design by the very talented Bruce Kunkel. The attention to detail really has to be seen in person to be truly appreciated, especially on the smaller metal parts such as the stopbar tailpiece and humbucker covers...even the tuner keys have designs on them! The guitar includes the original hardshell case along with certificate of authenticity, there is barely any wear to be seen on this piece!

Includes: Hardshell Case, Certificate of Authenticity
