☆COLLECTOR'S PIECE☆
 
Cushmic Sounds is pleased to offer this one of a kind 2011 model Gibson Les Paul Traditional, signed by Neil Young & members of Crazy Horse.
 
Back in 2013 during their Australian tour, Neil Young, Frank Sampedro, Ralph Molina and Billy Talbot signed this guitar backstage at Rod Laver Arena in Melbourne.
 
The guitar was then auctioned to help benefit SLAM - Save Live Australia's Music. On February 23rd 2010, 20,000 protesters marched on Victorian Parliament House to insist that crippling laws that equated "live music" with violence be changed. The SLAM rally was the largest cultural protest in Australia's history. Musicians reclaimed the streets of Melbourne and the law was overturned.

NOTE: Apart from the roller bridge, everything else is 100% original to this guitar. Gibson did briefly issue a few Traditional models with factory installed Bigsby Tremolos, but never with a roller bridge.
 
Comes with its original Gibson Hardshell Case, a letter from Frontier Touring Australia & New Zealand 22 April 2013 stating the legitimacy of the guitar and signatures, a Certificate Of Authenticity (COA) from UACC, IACC The Manuscript Society stating the legitimacy of Neil Young's signature along with a live photo, a laminated copy of the Australian tour poster, a laminated photo of Crazy Horse, a printout from the original online auction listing, Warranty Card/Checklist, Owner's Manual, Gibson Strap, and Truss Rod Tool.
 
Upon taking on this consignment, the following day I was at my local News Agent and saw a copy of Uncut Magazine's 'The Ultimate Music Guide' with Neil Young on the cover, so I had to purchase and include it with the guitar.
