There is no doubt that Barack Obama has made history winning the US presidency, but here at DV we wonder if after the incredibly demanding two year campaign will he decide to take some time out and relax with his Gibson Les Paul Custom now he's moved to the (Alpine!) White House?
President Obama is pictured here with his new Gibson Les Paul Guitar which was presented to him for winning the Rock The Nation Award during the Rock The Vote Awards ceremony at the National Building Museum in Washington. We believe this to be a one-off, hand-made Les Paul Custom made by the prestigious Gibson Custom Shop. This guitar presented to Barack Obama looks to be an Alpine White Les Paul Custom with ‘Rock the Vote’ art work on the Maple Top. The Gibson Custom Shop is renowned for its craftsmanship and has an exceptional place in the guitar building world. With a guitar like this, President Obama has got to be tempted to learn to a few chords!
The Gibson Les Paul range is now available from Digital Village online, in-store or via telephone mail-order.
