The Story

Used James A. Willis Water Tower Les Paul Electric Guitar

Gibson's Artist in Residence James A. Willis has created numerous works of guitar art for the Gibson Custom Shop. This Water Tower model is a one-of-a-kind instrument that depicts an iconic image of the New York City skyline water towers. Many buildings in the Outer Boroughs have vintage water towers on the roof. Inspired by these classic apartment building features, Mr. Willis created the Copper and Wood inlay on the top of this Les Paul.

Includes: Original Hardshell Case, Paperwork, Extra Truss Rod Cover, Extra Jack Plate, Magazine with Guitar Article
