The Story

James A. Willis Edgar Allan Poe The Raven Les Paul 2012

It's hard to forget a Les Paul as unique as this one: the Gibson Custom Shop 'EAP' Les Paul featuring a hand-carved pattern on the top by James A. Willis - a respected artist who in 2012 was Gibsons 'Artist in Residence' who created a limited amount of instruments that were available only at The Music Zoo! This guitar is dubbed 'The Raven' after the Edgar Allan Poe story and it features a hand-carved pattern to the top along with a hand-rubbed Midnight Blue finish and white binding to make that top really pop. This is a one-of-one collectible piece of musical art and it's in overall excellent shape: there are just very light marks around the body. The guitar includes the original case and COA!

Includes: Original Hardshell Case and Certificate of Authenticity
