“It’s a privilege to be involved in this good cause… especially when it involves making a fantastic Les Paul”: Gibson and Johnny Marr team up for limited edition replica of his red 1984 Les Paul Standard in aid of the Teenage Cancer Trust

Gibson Johnny Marr 1984 Les Paul with Bigsby: the guitar is a replica of the Les Paul Marr first used during the session for the Smiths Meat Is Murder – and it has been a hard-working guitar in his collection. Only 20 will be made, each signed by Marr, with proceeds going to the Teenage Cancer Trust.

Gibson and Johnny Marr have teamed up for a super limited edition run of signature guitars based on the indie icon’s 1984 Les Paul Standard, with all proceeds from the sale of the guitar going to the Teenage Cancer Trust.

The Bigsby-equipped Les Paul is limited to just 20 units, each of which will be available exclusively at the Gibson Garage London, launching on 21 February, with Marr’s signature on the back of the headstock.
