NEVER PLAYED – Gibson Custom Shop Les Paul Custom – BV x Gibson Limited Edition – Collector Grade

Offered here is an exceptionally rare BV x Gibson Custom Les Paul Electric Guitar, created as part of an exclusive collaboration between Beaulieu Vineyard—one of Napa Valley’s most historic wineries—and Gibson, America’s most iconic guitar maker.

This instrument was not a standard retail production model. It was produced as a limited-edition, co-branded piece celebrating craftsmanship, heritage, and American luxury across wine and music. Examples were designated for executive, distributor, and incentive use, making public availability extremely scarce.

Highlights & Custom Features

• Custom “BV Red” satin finish, unique to this collaboration
• Gold-engraved truss rod cover featuring BV branding and 125th Anniversary messaging
• Custom pickguard with the “Quel beau lieu!” seal and secondary BV logo in gold inlay
• Custom control knobs encapsulating actual Rutherford Dust in clear resin
• Gibson Custom medallion on the rear featuring secondary BV branding
• Classic Les Paul Custom appointments with premium woods, hardware, and electronics

This guitar embodies a true crossover collectible: equal parts Gibson Custom craftsmanship and luxury wine heritage. It is ideally suited for:

• Gibson / Les Paul collectors
• Wine industry executives and collectors
• Corporate art or brand collections
• Players seeking a one-of-a-kind statement instrument
