THE MICK RONSON 68 LES PAUL CUSTOM TRIBUTE
Arguably one of the most influential and celebrated guitarists of his generation, Mick Ronson epitomised the essence of the ‘guitar hero’, a player that dedicated himself to exquisite expression and uncompromising artistry, David Bowie called him “my Jeff Beck” and now our immaculate tribute to one of the most iconic Les Pauls in musical history - Mick Ronson's 1968 Gibson Les Paul Custom, can be yours!!!Ronson's go-to guitar during his extensive career alongside David Bowie (appearing as Ziggy Stardust & The Spiders from Mars of course), the 68' Gibson Les Paul Custom became an influential part of the myth and the man, the original top finish having been sanded back by Ronson and anyone he could rope in to take a turn in order to reveal the natural wood maple cap beneath in an effort to enhance the guitar's high-end response (a practise being employed by acoustic guitarists of the period). Further to this, Ronson removed the original nickle humbucker covers to also help increase that high-end response - backed up by his faithful "Cry-Baby", once this transformation was completed, the guitar produced an unparalleled tone and incredible presence both on stage and in the studio.This stunning tribute can now be yours to treasure, realised with painstaking attention to detail and featuring a stunningly mellow VOS finish, featuring aged equipment, hardware and tarnish "The Mick Ronson 68' Les Paul Custom Tribute" is available now to rock your world and change the way you play forever.
