Beatles' 1964 Gibson SG and Keith Richards' 1959 Sunburst Les Paul: Results from Christie's Auction + Gibson names Les Paul guitar after local man

Beatles' 1964 Gibson SG and Keith Richards' 1959 Sunburst Les Paul: Results from Christie's Auction

by Tom Watson

NEW YORK CITY (Manhattan). December 17, 2004. The results are in from Christie's "Rock & Roll and Entertainment Memorabilia" auction held today. The 1964 Gibson SG once owned by George Harrison and played by both Harrison and John Lennon, brought $567,500 (including the buyer's premium), while a 1959 Sunburst Les Paul previously owned and played by Keith Richards of the Rolling Stones failed to meet the auction reserve and didn't sell.

2004 will be a tough year to top as far as collectible electric guitars go. In addition to today's auction, other guitars to hit the block this year included noteworthy pieces from Eric Clapton, Stevie Ray Vaughan, and Jimi Hendrix. The sale of Clapton's Fender Stratocaster known as "Blackie" brought $959,500 (including the buyer's premium) in June's Crossroads auction at Christie's, and set a new record for the sale of an electric guitar at auction, beating the prior record set in 2002 by the sale of Jerry Garcia's guitar, "Tiger" by $2,000.

George Harrison/Beatles 1964 Gibson SG

Auction Lot Number: 362
Estimate: Estimate On Request [see below]
Final Auction price: $567,500 (including buyer's premium)

Although Christie's did not publicly provide a pre-auction estimate of value for the SG, Darren Julien, whose auction house, Julien's, co-sponsored today's auction at Christie's, believed the guitar itself was worth $200,000, and due to its ownership pedigree and player history had a presale value of $600,000.

Christie's lot description:

A 1964 Gibson SG Standard guitar, Serial No. 227666, translucent cherry finish, double cutaway solid body, Schaller machine heads, 22 fret fingerboard with mother-of-pearl inlays, Gibson logo inlayed to head, duel humbucker pickups, four rotary controls, selector switch, Gibson/Maestro Varitone wrap around tail piece and whammy bar, together with original hardshell case and six original Kluson tuners. Played by George Harrison from 1966 through 1969 during various Beatles appearances and recording sessions which include the last official United Kingdom concert at the NME Poll Winners Concert and during the Revolver recording session. It was also used by Harrison in two Beatles films used to promote "Paperback Writer" and "Rain" in 1966 and later played by John Lennon during the White Album sessions in 1969. Also present is a thirty-nine page custom binder which includes excellent documentation, featuring several reproduction images of Harrison playing the guitar with The Beatles as well as documentation from the book Beatles Gear: All the Fab Four's Instruments, from Stage to Studio (Andy Babiuk) and two letters verifying the guitar's authenticity. Together with additional related documents of the guitars subsequent owner, Pete Ham of Badfinger, to whom Harrison bestowed the guitar to in 1969. In 2002, the guitar was loaned to the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame in Cleveland Ohio where it has been on display ever since.

Keith Richards 1959 Gibson Les Paul

Auction Lot Number: 267
Estimate: Estimate On Request [see below]
Final Auction price: Unsold

While Christie's didn't publicly provide a pre-auction estimate of value, according to Newsday, the pre-sale value was $400,000.

Although a 1959 Les Paul 'Burst is collectible in its own right, (non-celebrity specimens often sell for more than $100,000), there's no doubt that the value of this guitar was signficantly increased by Richards' ownership.

Christie's lot description:

A 1959 Gibson Les Paul guitar, Serial No. 93182, Sunburst finish, single cutaway body, Maple top, cherry finish sides and back in Honduras Mahogany, Grover tuners, 22 fret Brazilian Rosewood fingerboard with mother-of-pearl inlays, Gibson logo inlayed to head, one Humbucking "patent applied for" zebra rythym pickup, one Humbucking "patent applied for" double black lead pickup, Gibson ABR1 Tuneomatic bridge, four rotary controls, selector switch, Bigsby tailpiece, together with 1960s Les Paul hardshell case. Played by Keith Richards of the Rolling Stones on the Ed Sullivan Show (1964/1965), Ready Steady Go! (1964) and during various Rolling Stones appearances from the same era. Also played by Mick Jagger during Beggar's Banquet recording sessions. Additionally present are two certificates of authenticity (facsimile copies) from guitar specialists Tony Bacon and Clive Brown as well as four 8 by 10 inch images of Richards playing the guitar and two of Mick Jagger playing the guitar and additional related documents.

Vic DaPra holds a Gibson Custom Special Edition 50th anniversary DaPra Bourbon Fade 1959 Les Paul standard reissue.

He's an author, fan and expert on Gibson Les Paul guitars, and now aficionado Vic DaPra has one named after him.

Already, Mr. DaPra, co-owner of Guitar Gallery in North Strabane, has sold all 25 of the custom electric guitars made and named for him by Gibson USA less than three months ago.

Called the Vic DaPra Bourbon Fade, the guitar is a 50th anniversary reissue of a 1959 Gibson Les Paul guitar.

Each one has its own "fingerprint," he said, along with a certificate of authenticity signed by company General Manager and Senior Vice President Rick Gembar.

His customers, from as far away as Ireland, New Zealand and Australia, each shelled out between $5,500 and $6,000 for the rare model, complete with a highly-flamed maple top in a dark sunburst shade that he designed.

The most famous owner of one of the guitars is lead guitarist Rick Nielsen of the band Cheap Trick, which is currently on a national tour.

The band, with DaPra guitar in hand, is scheduled to appear on The Tonight Show with Conan O'Brien Sept. 1.

Demand has been so high that Mr. DaPra is working on specifications for another DaPra guitar that will differ slightly from the one released in April.

The Gibson Les Paul series of guitars from 1958 to 1960 were re-popularized largely in the 1970s by English rock guitarists, like Eric Clapton, Paul McCartney, and Jimmy Page, the lead guitarist for Led Zeppelin, who also wrote the forward for one of the three books Mr. DaPra co-authored about guitar collecting.

"I was a big sucker for the English stuff," remembers Mr. DaPra, 57, of Canonsburg.

A 1970 graduate of Canon McMillan High School, Mr. DaPra became interested in guitars at age 12, parked in front of the family's gigantic television set. It was then and there that he saw the Beatles play live on the Ed Sullivan Show.

Mr. DaPra remembers the event well.

"It just changed the world at that time," he said.

Soon, he founded his own garage band with some buddies, and he eventually went on to some local fame as the lead singer and guitarist from 1972 to 1984 for "Sugar Cane," a local band that opened for Joan Jett at the Stanley Theater.

All the while, Mr. DaPra was collecting guitars -- starting with the $29 Sears catalog model his parents, Val and Norma DaPra of Canonsburg, bought for him.

"That was it -- from there, I got hooked on guitars," he said.

After high school, Mr. DaPra went to college for a year, but dropped out, telling his parents he wanted to pursue a career in music.

They were disappointed by his decision, he said, but by 1973 they were convinced he went mad when he took out a $1,600 bank loan to purchase his first 1959 Les Paul.

"I thought my parents were going to have me committed," he recalls, saying such a price was unheard of at that time.

Today, that guitar would be worth about $400,000, said Mr. DaPra, who also works as an appraiser for collectors, like Mr. Page and guitarist Robby Krieger of The Doors.

The idea for the DaPra guitar came from Gibson salesmen, who Mr. DaPra said, approached him about having a guitar named after him to help celebrate the 50th anniversary of the object that he's devoted much of his life to.

"I think Gibson really outdid themselves," he said of the guitar. "This is the best copy yet for playability and sound."

The DaPra guitar also features a mahogany body and neck, with a rosewood fingerboard.

Mr. DaPra still collects dozens of vintage guitars and offers many others for sale at Guitar Gallery, the shop he co-founded with partner Tim Matyas in 1985.

"We still sell guitars all over the world," Mr. DaPra said.

It was legendary jazz guitarist and innovator Les Paul who was responsible for the creation of the greatest acoustic guitar of al time. Paul was not just an accomplished musician, but he was also responsible for some path breaking musical innovations including such concepts as over dubbing, multi tracking, and sound on sound. Born on June 9 1915 as Lester William Polfuss in Waukesha, Wisconsin, Paul took to music at an early age. He began playing the harmonica while at the Barstow school after watching a ditch digger with a harmonica on the street.

Soon he had his own orchestra and was playing at beach parties and dances. After a brief encounter with the banjo, Paul moved on to the guitar.

Paul was unsatisfied by the electric guitars that were sold in the mid 1930s and began experimenting with a few designs of his own. Famously, he created "The Log," which was nothing more than a length of common 4" by 4" fence post with bridge, guitar neck, and pickup attached. For the sake of appearance, he attached the body of an Epiphone hollow-body guitar, sawn lengthwise with The Log in the middle. This solved his two main problems: feedback, as the acoustic body no longer resonated with the amplified sound, and sustain, as the energy of the strings was not dissipated in generating sound through the guitar body. After a series of experimentations, Les Paul presented his ideas for an electric guitar to the Gibson Company in 1940. His efforts weren't received with great enthusiasm and it wasn't until the 1950s that Gibson would take interest in Les Paul's prototype. The Les Paul Gibson was introduced in 1952.

By the time the Les Paul came out, the guitarist was at the top of his career in spite of an automobile injury that set his arm at an awkward angle. In 1977, he recorded an album of instrumental duets in collaboration with Chet Atkins, but was soon forced to take things slow as a result of heart problems. In 1988 he was inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame.

Les Paul began a regular series of Monday night appearances at Fat Tuesday's club in New York in 1984 and was also inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame in 1988. By the late 1980s, Paul had returned to active weekly live performances in New York City. In 2006, at the age of 90, Les Paul won two Grammys at the 48th Annual Grammy Awards for his album Les Paul & Friends: American Made World Played. He also performs weekly, accompanied on piano by John Colianni, at the Iridium Jazz Club, on Broadway in New York City, despite the arthritis that has stilled all but two of the fingers on his left hand.

Paul continues to perform on occasion, all the while indulging his curiosity in a basement workshop at his home in New Jersey. Aside from tower figure in the development of the Les Paul Guitar, Paul is also credited as the inventor of multitrack recording, and various reverberation and echo effects.

The Les Paul was by no means the first solid body electric guitar to hit the market. 60 years before the Les Paul, company founder Orville Gibson had designed the arch top guitar. In 1936, Gibson issued the ES 150, the first standard electric guitar. When it came to designing the Les Paul, the company poured in decades of skills and craftsmanship and the result was a guitar that was a work of art in itself.

In 1952, Gibson introduced the Les Paul Standard's forerunner, the Goldtop with its renouned P-90 pickups. The Les Paul had an intricately fashioned arch top placed on a solid mahogany body. It included a glued in neck with an adjustable truss rod and a pitched headstock. Also integrated in the deign were the accoutrements that helped distinguish the leader in electric guitars from the rest like a bound fret board and raised pick guard.

Although the Les Paul took off from the very time it appeared on the market, the design was still in its infancy. Two developments were to come which would change the shape of the Les Paul from a wood plank with strings to a classic. In 1957, Gibson was still attempting like other guitar manufacturers to produce a totally noise free performance from the Les Paul. Around this time, designer Seth Lover entered the picture with his patented humbucking pickup. By placing two coils side by side, Lover discovered he could reduce the noise from hum and other electrical disturbances that single coils were so prone to. The result was a deeper richer sound, free of noise while retaining the full, warm, and sustaining tone that has come to define the Les Paul.

Once the sound issues had been smoothened, Gibson proceeded to make another change to the Les Paul. This time the change was purely aesthetic. The carved maple tops were coated with a lush, semi-transparent cherry sunburst finish to enhance the beauty of the maple base. The results were spectacular and the "Burst " as it came to be known as was not only the most stylish but also the most advanced electric guitar on the scene.

Ironically enough, sales of the Les Paul were declining even as it was undergoing periods of incredible transformation. In 1963, the Les Paul Standard was changed to the flat topped design that we know now as the SG model. The standard was hugely popular with a number of pop and jazz guitarists including the guitar's namesake Les Paul himself but it was only in the lat 60s that the guitar would finally find its true place – in the hands of some of the greatest rock performers of all time. By the late 60s and early 70s, guitar legends like Jimmy Page, Peter Green and Mick Taylor were endorsing the Les Paul as their rock signature.

Although the Les Paul took a while to catch on, its popularity since has never really subsided. The Les Paul is in all its glory when accompanied by visionary artists and although that doesn't happen all too frequently, the magic that occurs when these two get together is worth the wait.

The Les Paul is well established in the classic rock genre. The classic British blues-rock has been shaped almost entirely by this instrument’s unique sound. Other rock that needs a thick, rich tone and playability as well as good sustainability is easily played on the Gibson Les Paul. This guitar can be used for much more than rock. The solid-body Gibson Les Paul first appeared some fifty five years ago and has since showed that it can play near everything. Whether you're a beginner who's just starting out with a new guitar or a guitar aficionado who appreciates classic beauty, the Les Paul will appeal to you. Here are just a few reasons why the Les Paul is such a cult favorite amongst professionals and amateurs alike.

1. The Les Paul makes it easy to get to those high notes without too much effort, compared to standard guitar that have any kind of mobile bridges (such as the standard tremolo, floyd rose etc)

2. Not belying the presence of two humbucking pick ups you can receive a wonderfully clean note on your Les Paul

3. With the Tune-o-Matic bridge, you don't have to worry about your Les Paul going out of tune during the middle of a gig.

4. The versatility of the Les Paul makes it suitable for virtually any genre of music, ranging from rock to heavy metal to rock and pop and everything in between.

Gibson's humbucking pickups contribute immensely to the Les Paul's unmistakably classic tone. These pickups help produce not only a higher output signal, but also give the Les Paul's tone a mellow quality with markedly decreased treble frequencies.

The heavy wood body of the Les Paul also contributes to its full and mellow tone. These are some of the heaviest guitars and this helps them easily sustain a deeper bass. Hardware on almost every Les Paul is standard. They each consist of 2 volume pots, 2 humbucking pickups and tone controls. Each of them has a switch that enables three separate combinations.

Gibson Les Paul Classic Humbucker Pickups

• Position 1: Switch flipped downwards; the Bridge Pickup. This generates a crunchy sound, mostly used for lead guitars (Example: Guns N Roses´s "Paradise City" intro).
• 
  
• Position 2: Middle Position (both pickups active), this position provides a sound not too bright nor too mellow, perfect for balanced tone.
• 
  
• Position 3: Switch flipped upwards; the Neck Pickup. The sound you get from this position is deeper and more "grave" sounding, with rich sustain perfect for slower solos. Turn the tone control to 0, and you get the well known "woman tone" commonly used by Eric Clapton and Slash.

  
  

  Gibson guitars are synonymous with quality, beauty and are desired by collectors and musicians the world over. The Les Paul, in particular, has aided in the creation of the modern music scene that we know today. However, this makes them expensive in their own right. They are constructed with the finest tone woods and are still very much hand crafted.
  
  Spotting Fakes
  As the Gibson Les Paul is a highly valued guitar, many people will try to make fakes that will sell for far more than they are worth. Here are a few ways to help see these fakes. These knockoffs will not get past the experienced players, but they will be able to trap those who are not familiar with guitars. These instruments normally cost from two thousand to three thousand. So if they are offered for a few hundred then they are likely to be fakes.
  
  If any seller is based out of China or another Asian country, then be careful. None of Gibson’s instruments are made in these places. All Gibson guitars are made in the United States of America. In general, be wary of second-hand online marketplaces like eBay where pirated goods could circulate. If you wish to purchase a Gibson Les Paul online, buy it from a respectable store such as Zzsounds.
  
  Be aware of the common body shapes used by Gibson, and check those that you are looking to buy. Most of the fakes have a Gibson logo that is of a thicker font than the real Gibson logo and is aligned almost horizontally at the top of the headstock. The real Gibson logo is a thinner font and is angled with the G started near the post of the D string tuner. The real key is to look at the truss rod cover. Real Gibsons have a bell shaped truss rod cover with TWO screws, whereask fakes typically have THREE screws. Also, the copies of Les Paul Standards often say "Gibson" right on the truss rod cover, NO Les Pauls say Gibson on the truss rod cover, some Epiphone Les Pauls do but those aren't made in the USA and say Epiphone at the top of the headstock not Gibson.
  
  The fakes will normally be imprinted with genuine appearing serial numbers. However, they will normally not line up with the production years of the real Gibson guitars. On the custom shop Historic and VOS Les Paul guitars, the logo is silk-screened where the fakes use decals.
  
  All well made real Les Paul guitars will come with original Gibson cases. These cases are as well made as the guitar itself many times. If there is not a case included in the sale, or if the seller offers to use a case other than the original Gibson case, then that could be a warning sign.
  
  Maybe the easiest way to check is to ask the seller. Many will tell you that they are made in China. As stated already, not a single Gibson is made in China. All those that claim to be from there are fakes. A Gibson Les Paul is an expensive buy and as such should be treated carefully. As it is a large investment to get such a fine instrument, be sure to go to a seller with a good reputation, preferably an online retailer with a solid history of selling real Gibson guitars.

  Whether you're a beginner learning to strum, or a professional looking to better his tone, choosing a Les Paul can be a challenge. There are close to 127 models that have been released under the Les Paul name since 1952. To make your decision easier it helps to remember that they are all derived from 3 basic models. There are currently about 13 or so variations on the basic Les Paul design around today. All models feature a 'Tune-o-matic' bridge and a stop bar tailpiece, and can be with or without a scratch guard. Apart from reissues, all Les Pauls now feature humbuckers. They are mostly mahogany, but there is now a series called 'SmartWood Exotics' which feature a number of exotic woods. There are a number of variations and reisues based on the above but slightly different, and they all feature Les Paul's signature on the headpiece.

  If you're thinking of purchasing a Gibson Les Paul, you may consider getting one online. Buying a les paul online will save you hundreds, if not thousands of dollars. However, we strongly recommend that you pick an online retailer with an established reputation and credibility such as Musiciansfriend.com.

The Standard is now available with or without the slim-taper neck.

This model is a watered down version of the Standard. It comes in a wide choice of finishes and has a sleek minimal look and features an optional plus top. The Les Paul Studio is intended to be played in a recording studio and is the favorite of guitarists who want a guitar that combines the Les Paul's classic performance with a modern edge.

  Epiphone Les Pauls are competitively priced and offer extremely good value for a reasonably high quality guitar. However, here a few things to note while buying an Epiphone Gibson:
  - Gibsons are made in the US while Epiphones are made outside the country (usually Korea and China).
  - Gibson guitars come with an ultra light thin nitra cellulose coating that takes weeks to perfect. Epiphones comes with a less labor intensive polyurethane finish which doesn't take long to apply and is also more durable.
  - Gibson uses high quality woods like South American mahogany in its designs. Epiphone guitars use less expensive materials like a combination of alder and mahogany, making them more affordable than the upscale Gibson models.
  - Gibsons have a lighter tone overall in contrast to the Epiphones' darker tones.
  - The Pickups, electronics and internal wiring of Gibson Les Pauls is of substantially higher quality than their Epiphone counterparts.
  

  Pricing
  
  If you're watching your wallet, the Epiphone Les Paul Junior or LP Special might be a safe bet. A little more expensive are the Epiphone Les Paul Custom and the Les Paul Classic. If you're in the mood to splurge then you can't go wrong with a Gibson les Paul Standard or Gibson Les Paul Custom.
