1979 Gibson ES Artist874 viewsA really unusual model from Gibson's past. Has active electronics by Moog, including active tone controls and compression, brightness, and expansion switches. Note the dot markers to the side of the neck. It also has a very unusual headstock inlay (not shown). This one is in near mint condition and sounds awesome!

1979 Gibson Les Paul KM Kalamazoo Model1867 viewsIt's hard to find these with flame tops. Big Al once told me that he saw KMs with flame tops being shipped to Japan during a factory tour of the old Kalamazoo factory.

1979 Guild Starfire VI219 viewsAn incredibly cool guitar from the late 70's. Build in the Westerly RI plant.

|

1980 Gibson Les Paul Artist Black1472 viewsLike the ES Artist, the Les Paul Artist model has active electronics by Moog, including active tone controls and compression, brightness, and expansion switches. This guitar is in mint condition. It was unsold inventory. Note the sticker still on the pickguard.

1980 Gibson Les Paul Artist Sunburst1216 viewsAnother Les Paul Artist with active electronics by Moog. I love the sunburst color! The active tone controls and the switches make for some cool and unusual tones. Turn down the volume if you flip on the compression switch!

1980 Gibson Les Paul Heritage 80 Standard2111 viewsThis Heritage Standard 80 has one of the curliest (and prettiest) tops that I've seen on this model. The photo doesn't do it justice.

1982 Gibson Les Paul Heritage 80 Elite1558 viewsVery unusual quilt top on this one.

1982 Gibson Les Paul Leo's Model1567 viewsDespite the clownburst color, this guitar has a great wavy flametop and looks great in person. Fit and finish are top notch. It also plays and sounds great!
