| 2002 ESP Navigator N-LP-700LTD Quilt Top Les Paul Replica Includes Original Navigator Logo Hardshell Case Sorry, this guitar is now SOLD |
This is the one. There are no other Japanese-made Gibson Les Paul clones that can match this one.
It was/is the most expensive, most rare, copy to date known to collectors. ESP made very few of these
(probably less than 20). The finish is varnish shellac and has been aged beautifully. Features
quarter-sawn solid bookmatched quilted maple top, 1-piece mahogany neck and 1-piece mahogany
back. It is a light Les Paul in comparison with others. As ESP Navigator luthiers say, "We ask the
wood what it wants to be, and then create the instrument." This one wanted to be king of the Pauls.
This is the next best thing to the $100,000+ originals. Hands-down. Don't know if Gibson made quilt
tops back in '59, but if they did, it certainly would look, play and feel exactly like this.
