Gibson 120th Anniversary Limited Quilt Les Paul
2014 Gibson Les Paul Standard 120th Anniversary Limited Hand-Picked Quilt Top
The 120th Anniversary series stands out to me for a number of reasons, including the non-nib fretboards, and the varied output options from the push/pull knobs. Of the 120th Anniversary series, there was a limited run of “hand-selected and book matched” quilt tops, with attributions made to the specific Gibson staff that made the selection. The top on this one is quite nice, with wide quilt patterning viewable from all angles. It stands out among the range of tops from this hand-selected series. Also notable, the rosewood for the fingerboard is especially dark and uniform, and the neck has a nice flame figure to it.

Condition / Setup Notes
The guitar remains in excellent (+) shape. There is minimal surface wear, if anything notable at all. There are minor cracks visible in two of the control knobs, but very subtle and no issue in use. String height is currently about 4/64”-3/64” from bass to treble, with light relief. Playing nicely.
***
In a world full of Les Pauls, this one has a lot going on: full width frets, additional electronics options conveniently built into the existing knobs, and of course the top-quality quilted top, finished beautifully. Even the fretboard was selected with care, utilizing a dark, densely grained piece of rosewood. The neck on this one is also nice, with a flame figure to it. It remains in such nice shape, but it’s also a great player with a nice open sound both unplugged and amplified. Just a great example in every way.
