For Sale: 2010 Gibson Buckethead Signature Les Paul Alpine White w/ OHSC & Paperwork

Up for sale is a very rare 2010 Gibson Buckethead Signature Les Paul in Alpine White, complete with its original Gibson hard-shell case and original paperwork.

One of the most unique and collectible signature Les Pauls Gibson has ever produced, the Buckethead model was designed around the specifications of the legendary guitarist himself. Unlike a traditional Les Paul, this guitar features an oversized chambered body, a 27" baritone-scale neck, 24 jumbo frets, a markerless ebony fingerboard, high-output ceramic humbuckers, and Buckethead's signature arcade-style kill switches.

These guitars were produced in relatively small numbers and have become increasingly difficult to find, especially in clean, original condition with the original case and paperwork.

Electronics & Features

The Buckethead Signature is unlike virtually any other Les Paul Gibson has ever built.

The oversized chambered body creates a bigger acoustic voice while helping reduce weight compared to a solid-body equivalent. The extended 27" scale length gives the guitar exceptional clarity, tighter low-end response, and increased string tension, making it ideal for alternate tunings and highly technical playing.

The markerless ebony fingerboard contributes to the guitar's distinctive minimalist aesthetic, while the pair of arcade-style kill switches allow for the rapid stutter effects that became a hallmark of Buckethead's playing style.

The 496R and 500T ceramic humbuckers deliver tremendous output, sustain, and harmonic content, making this a serious rock and metal machine while still offering versatility thanks to the coil-tap functionality.

Tone & Feel

This guitar has a voice all its own.

The combination of the chambered body, extended scale length, and hot ceramic pickups produces massive sustain, excellent note separation, and incredible low-end authority. Chords remain articulate even under heavy gain, while single-note lines have a singing quality that cuts effortlessly through a mix.

The longer scale length feels surprisingly natural and provides a tighter, more responsive playing experience than a standard Les Paul.

Whether you're a Buckethead fan, collector, or simply someone looking for one of the most unique Les Pauls Gibson has ever produced, this guitar delivers an experience unlike anything else in the Gibson lineup.
