Gibson CS Dickey Betts 1957
Dickey Betts was an early endorsee of the Gibson Les Paul back. When people thought solid body guitars would never catch on, Dickey was making great solo records and with some great bands most notably the Allman Brothers.
This is a re-issue of his 1957 Goldtop Les Paul which Dickey purchased in the 70's and although today the actual guitar has been refinished in red, the re-issues can be bought in both the current colour and the original gold as per our example.
As a rare custom shop, these guitar can fetch around $10,000 when they do appear for sale which isn't very often.
