The new limited edition guitar features an image of Marley's face on the body of the guitar, plus fingerboard inlays in the colors of the Jamaican flag and "One Love" on the headstock. It is built on the same solidbody design as Marley's personal Gibson Les Paul Special. Features of the new model include a solid mahogany body with Worn Brown finish, a pair of '57 Classic Alnico-V pickups, one-piece mahogany neck, rosewood fingerboard, Grover tuners and chrome-plated hardware. It comes with a "Hemp" gigbag and Certificate of Authenticity. Marley passed away May 11, 1981. The album Legend, by Bob Marley and the Wailers, has been on Billboard's Top Pop Catalog chart for 718 weeks and is currently No. 1, having been certified for 10 million copies sold. His original, early-'70s Les Paul Special guitar is on display at the Bob Marley Museum in Kingston, Jamaica. For more information, visit their web site at www.epiphone.com. |
