When it comes to combining an outstanding instrument with legendary musical history and extreme rarity, Gibson's Collector's Choice series is widely recognized as the premier choice. Among the various Collector's Choice models, the "Beast" — from the legendary 2013 vintage — stands out as one of the most sought-after; this is largely due to its history as the primary guitar of Whitesnake guitarist Bernie Marsden, who made music history with it over the course of his decades-long career. Here, we present a particularly beautiful specimen that impresses with a truly interesting top grain. The striking yet understated flame figure combines with the distinctive aging process to create a look that inevitably evokes a "Burst" from the legendary year of 1959. The neck, featuring a comfortable "Medium 59" profile, ensures exceptional playability, while the "Beast" tone can range from warm and bluesy to biting and punchy when overdriven. Coupled with the guitar's incredible resonance it is not only a coveted collector's item but also a top-tier sonic powerhouse. While owning one of this rare model line — limited to just 300 units worldwide and featuring the "Dirty Lemon" finish — is always a rewarding prospect, but this specific instrument, offered here in top condition, is one not to be missed.
