    1997 Gibson Les Paul Joe Perry Signature Wild Flame with Case

    € 3.290,00

    Here is a nice one from the good 90's. Check out the wild flame on this Joe Perry. It has an all solid body, 1959 neck and a very cool wahwah sounding pot, sounds great. The guitar has some finishwear and once had a bigsby, so there are a few small snakebytes. But overall a great looking and sounding collectable guitar with this stunning flametop and comes with papers and in the original case.


    Here is the story: In 1997, Joe Perry got his first signature Les Paul with a hand-stained Translucent finish that emphasized the stunningly figured maple tops. The basic specs and dimensions were based on Perry's '59 Les Paul and another 1960 Gibson Les Paul he also loves. In Joe's own words, “It's got everything a great Les Paul is supposed to have. The neck isn't quite as fat as, say, a '54 Goldtop, but it's still got a good, meaty neck. It's not a high-output guitar, so it's got a lot of tone… And it's got all the natural sustain and warmth, and when you turn it up it growls.”  The bridge pickup was custom-wound to Perry's specifications. The electronic circuitry includes an active mid-boost tone-shaping circuit, accessible with a push/pull pot, and a master tone control.
    At its launch, Perry said, “I didn't do a lot to change what's already a great guitar. Obviously, the cosmetic changes are the most radical. The electronics idea came from a guy who worked on my guitars here in Boston. He took the guts out of a wah-wah pedal and put it in the bass pickup tone pot. When you pop the pot out, everything about the way the guitar is set up goes through that pot and gives you that wah-wah sound right in your guitar, so you can set the tone any way you want.”
