Rare Artist Model Guitars Hit CME's Reverb Shop

It's not every day you see a haul like this. The guitar lovers at Chicago Music Exchange (CME) have just brought in a large collection of Custom Shop signature models and other guitars built in collaboration with a who's who of rock 'n' roll.

Gibson Custom Slash 'First Standard' '58 Les Paul Standard Aged and Signed Sunburst 2017

An exacting replica of Les Paul #8 3096, believed to be the very first Burst built in 1958, this Custom Shop-built "First Standard" '58 Les Paul is a Slash signature, since the Guns N' Roses guitarist is lucky enough to own the original.

Gibson Custom Les Paul Eric Clapton George Harrison Lucy '57 Reissue

This unique Custom Shop build is modeled after George Harrison's '57 Gibson "Lucy" Les Paul, a gift from Eric Clapton that had been converted from a Goldtop.

Gibson Custom Jimi Hendrix 67 SG Reissue Aged Polaris White 2020

Gibson made this SG reissue as a Jimi Hendrix Custom Shop model in 2020. Though he was much better known for playing other guitars, this is bound to be an incredible instrument.

Ibanez BWM1 BS Bob Weir Cowboy Fancy

This stylish, show-stopping Ibanez is a signature model for Grateful Dead's Bob Weir, closely matched to Cowboy Fancy, his original, one-of-a-kind Ibanez collab from 1976.

Gibson Custom ES-350T Chuck Berry Signature

Just like the guitar Chuck Berry used to usher in the rock 'n' roll era, this Gibson Custom Shop Chuck Berry 1955 ES-350T is one of just 55 Gibson has built.

Gibson Dave Grohl Signature ES-335 DG

This Dave Grohl Signature ES-335 DG echoes the Trini Lopez models the Foo Fighters frontman has favored for years.

Alembic Further FLG6 Quilted Maple Natural 2016

One of two Jerry Garcia-style Alembics in CME's recent haul (alongside a TLG6 Tribute), this guitar is modeled after Wolf, perhaps Garcia's single-most famous instrument.

Find all of these Custom artist models and more in CME's Reverb Shop now.
