Gibson has pulled the curtain back on its new Dave Amato Les Paul Axcess Standard.
Boasting a figured top with a "Boston Sunset Fade" finish inspired by Amato's hometown, the instrument merges the REO Speedwagon guitarist's two favorite instruments, a '59 Reissue and a Les Paul Axcess.
The guitar features a White Ebony fingerboard, an extra-chunky neck profile, a Floyd Rose tremolo and two '57 Classic Plus humbuckers. It also packs a swept neck heel, revised back contours and an Apex headstock carve
The Gibson Dave Amato Les Paul Axcess Standard is available now for $5,099.
