Marcus King got reacquainted with one of the most famous Gibson Les Pauls of all time on Sunday, March 19, when he had a pre-show noodle on the 1955 Black Beauty once owned by Peter Kossoff and Eric Clapton.
King was in Paris to play a show at the Élysée Montmartre when he was presented with the Gibson Les Paul Custom, which is part of Matthieu Lucas’s personal collection. Lucas is the man behind Matt’s Guitar Shop, one of the most respected vintage guitar shops in the world – which presently stocks some seriously choice electric guitars, a number of which were acquired from Richie Sambora.
