This guitar, although part of Gibson's Historic Collection, is very unusual as a single pickup curved maple top Les Paul. No such model existed among the original Les Paul guitars in the 1950s. This guitar was one of a limited run that Dave's Guitar Shop in Wisconsin co-designed with Gibson. Clapton purchased this guitar himself from their stand at the first Crossroads Guitar Festival in Dallas, August 2004.
