With the limited 300 Ace Les Pauls all stashed away in private collections and the new Budokans going for around $14k, you sometimes have to become your own mother of invention when it comes to paying tribute to the greatest band of all time, KISS. T...details

 Our very own Doctor Ken paid Ray and I a visit today and like the three wise men of old, he came bearing gifts. Not incense and myrrh, but Fenders and Gibsons. Anticipation ran high as the Doctor lay the museum quality cases before us. Like kids on C...details

 We named this guitar "The Naked Lady" because when we got her, all that came to us was the guitar and the case. That's it- no papers, no COA, no bells ringing or whistles singing. I know that all these peripherals are nice to have with a guitar that'...details

 ** NEW ARRIVAL ** I saw Gov't Mule on their first tour through Atlanta and it was one of the most unforgettable shows I've ever seen. Not only was I mesmerized by Allen Woody's never- stopping bass runs, but also by ...details

 At first glance, I thought this was a 1990 R0 and was getting ready to label it as such, but a quick conference with the boys over at the MyLesPaul.com forum quickly set me straight. It is, in fact a prehistoric Les Paul Standard reissue and when you...details

 ** SOLD ** Did some fine Saturday business with our newest Elk, Tom. Read all about it over on the Elk Nation page!...details

 Sometimes, we receive a guitar and it makes me stop and think for a second. Take this Gibson Map guitar: So many things could have happened in history and the guitar would have a completely different shape. For instance: If it weren't for the Pilgrim...details

 This one's easy- if you're an SG guy and want the sound of twin humbuckers in a virtually unplayed guitar for under 2 Grand, then here's the sweetheart deal of the month. This is the guitar that you can play for five sets in the club and not even kno...details

 ** ON HOLD FOR BOB ** Let's see, if I'm not mistaken it was the Summer of '78 when I first laid eyes on one of these guitars. It was the T-N-T tour (for those of you who are not familiar, T-N-T is the acronym for Ted...details

 ** ON HOLD FOR WAYNE ** Some guitars are so beautiful and pristine, they belong on the wall in a showcase and Lord knows, we have plenty of those. But, every so often we come across a mean, snarling yard dog of a gui...details

 Here's 7 lbs, 6 oz of snowy snarliness in a sweet 'lil dual humbucker package. This '61 RI SG is fresh out of a private collection and on display for your approval. It's got that wide, thin neck that was so prominent in the early 60's and the conditi...details

 There's two things to expressly mention about this guitar, so first off, let's remove the 3/4 description. All vintage Junior collectors know what these guitars are ab out, so I'll get to what's important. Simply put, the neck is to die for and is on...details

 If I had to describe this guitar in one word, that word would be tone. There is something magical about this particular year and I can't say if the guys at Gibson got a bonus or if the shop foreman was an intense task master, but whatever the ...details

 With this Les Paul, you get the best of both worlds when it comes to the desirable features of an Historic 'Paul. You have a subtle, lightly flamed Maple top that reminds you of an R9, but you also get that beloved, beefy neck profile that is so well...details

 Try as I might, I just could not come up with a story to go with this guitar. I thought about everything from Zappa to Angus, but nothing really would click, so I thought I'd just give you a short, straight shoot on it. If you are looking at one of t...details

 As part of our second set of twins, with the first being our Sparkle Standards, this stunning Trans Red Elegant is virtually identical to our natural example with the exception of.....you guessed it, the color. The pair of '57 Classics are both stron...details

 Gosh, these are fine guitars- made during the period known as the "Flame Wars", it's definitely a horse of a different color (pun intended) and something certainly left of center. It's the twin to our silver sparkle Standard and carries the same feat...details

 There are some guitars that roll through our doors that make us smile every time we look at them and this is one of those rare pieces. As #10 of only 50 ever created by Gibson's Custom Shop, I would say that it easily qualifies for that often- used "...details

 These are one of the finest Les Pauls to recently emerge from Gibson's Custom Shop and with less than 100 being made, a sure winning entry to the "instant collectible" category. It's got a fantastically flamed Maple top that would be worthy of any co...details

 This guitar was one of the "fab five" that came into the Elkcave right before Christmas and a is a pure gem in both sight and sound. It's one of the finest Les Pauls to recently emerge from Gibson's Custom Shop and with less than 100 being made, a su...details

 Now this guitar has a top that's worthy of any "flame war" contender and comes in a gorgeous Lemonburst to boot! We purchased this piece from a dentist that, in order to make the guitar exactly like he wanted it had a brass nut and straplocks instal...details

 ** ON HOLD FOR YUKIMUNE ** We don't need to tell you that in the times of this economic tsunami, these Brazilian Les Pauls have consistently outperformed every one of it's contemporaries, period. We put one up and it...details

 This 'lil tale is for all our 'Elks, wherever you may be...

Last night, about 3:00 in the morning, I thought I heard a noise. I sat up in bed, listening and sure enough, there was some rustling sounds coming out of the office...details

 Here's a guitar that's a sure crowd pleaser among Les Paul lovers. This virtually unplayed R6 has one of the nicest neck profiles on the planet and the twin P- 90's are warm and just a tad mellower than the humbuckers found in some other reissues. Th...details

 ** NEW ARRIVAL ** This gorgeous Cherry Sunburst R9 is cool not only because it weighs in at only 9 lbs, 2 oz, but it retains the brown case and package from 2003 (Gibson moved to the black CS cases in 2004, as you al...details

 ** SOLD ** We just got the call from Tony on this Chet and all's well once again in Elkland. We'd like to welcome him into our family and sincerely express our hopes that we can be of service again in the future. Tha...details
