The Story

Used 2017 Collector's Choice #28 Ronnie Montrose '58 Les Paul Electric Guitar STP Burst

Here's a pre-owned, and still in excellent condition Collectors Choice 28 Les Paul, originally sold by The Music Zoo. The previous owner installed a set of ThroBak SLE-101 Plus humbuckers into the guitar, with the original pickups included in the case. The guitar is still in overall excellent shape with the COA included as well. For the 28th instrument in the Series, Gibson got their hands on the original '58 burst owned by the late Ronnie Montrose. This is the guitar that Ronnie used during his tenure with the Edgar Winter Group, and it can be heard on EWG hits like "Frankenstein" and the solo on "Free Ride."

Gibson Custom did a wonderful job recreating this guitar, dubbed the "STP Burst" for a series of roughly 300 instruments depending on the availability of materials. Why is it called the "STP Burst"? At one point, Ronnie had an oval STP sticker on the front of the guitar near the toggle switch. A darker spot on the finish was left behind when he later removed it, probably from less light exposure.

Includes: Hardshell Case, Certificate of Authenticity, Hang Tags, and Paperwork
