About this listing
Up for sale is a truly unique piece of Gibson history: a 2014 Gibson Futura Les Paul in the striking and rare Bullion Gold finish. Released as part of Gibson's 120th Anniversary celebration, the Futura combines classic Les Paul DNA with a sleek, futuristic body contour and modern electronics. If you want to stand out from the sea of standard bursts, this all-gold rarity is the way to do it.Key Features• 120th Anniversary Edition: Features the commemorative "120th Anniversary" banner inlay at the 12th fret.• Bullion Gold Finish: A gorgeous, eye-catching metallic gold that covers the entire body and neck.• The Build: Classic mahogany body with a maple top and a fast, comfortable neck.The Ultimate Tone Arsenal (Pickup & Wiring Breakdown)This isn’t your standard Les Paul. The Futura was engineered from the factory to be a studio and stage workhorse, featuring one of the most versatile electronics layouts Gibson has ever offered.• Bridge Pickup: Gibson BurstBucker 3This is a historically accurate PAF-style humbucker, but with a twist. It is slightly overwound to give you a hotter, punchier output. It delivers tight low end, complex midrange, and sweet highs that push an amp beautifully for classic rock crunch and soaring leads.• Neck Pickup: Gibson P-90H SidewinderA brilliant piece of Gibson innovation. This is a true hum-canceling P-90. It features two side-by-side coils rotated on their sides. You get the raw, woody, articulate chime and grit of a vintage P-90 soapbar, but with zero 60-cycle hum. • Independent Push/Push Coil Splitting Both the volume pots are push/pull switches that split the coils for both the bridge humbucker and the neck Sidewinder. This allows you to instantly drop down into spanky, snappy, single-coil territory, giving you T-style and S-style textures on top of classic Gibson fatness. • Onboard Mini-Toggle +15dB Preamp BoostCondition• Structure: Rock solid. No breaks, cracks, or repairs. The neck is straight, the truss rod works perfectly, and the frets are in great shape.• Cosmetics: This is a player's guitar and has been loved. It shows some honest scratches, dings, and light play wear throughout the body (all clearly documented in the photos). It has a great broken-in vibe but still looks absolutely brilliant under the lights.Includes• Original Gibson black hardshell case with white plush interior.
