Vini Reilly has decided to sell his GIBSON LES PAUL - JIMMY PAGE SIGNATURE MODEL guitar.

Its colour is 'Pageburst' which is a beautiful subtle caramel sunburst, with 'burstbucker' pick-ups specially designed by GIBSON in conjunction with Jimmy Page himself.

All hardware is gold-plated as standard and the guitar comes with a scratchplate signed by Jimmy Page as well as a certificate and the original hard case.

Its condition is immaculate with only minimal signs of use as Vini is pretty meticulous with his instruments and it is supplied with the original Gibson hard case.

This guitar has been used on the last three albums as well as live work and sessions for various Radio commitments.

New, these guitars list at £5000 and they were not a mass-produced Les Paul model.


PLEASE SEE THE EBAY LISTING FOR MORE DETAILS - THE AUCTION WILL START AT 20.30 GMT - SUNDAY 16/03/08
