Brad Whitford has played a wide array of guitars since he Brad Whitford joined Aerosmith in 1971, but a Gibson Les Paul has always been his “go-to”.

This ’72 gold top Les Paul is the ONLY one of his cherished “old” Les Pauls that he’s made available.

Brad played this ’72 Gibson Les Paul Deluxe extensively in live performances with Aerosmith starting in 2002. The guitar is easily identified by the green oxidization in the gold top finish. The original Gibson tuners have been replaced with more modern Grovers. The original tuners are included and if replaced will cover any holes drilled to mount the new Grovers. The guitar is mentioned in the Legendary Tones article covering the gear Aerosmith used on tour in 2002 in the link below. See and hear the guitar in action in the 2003 live from Detroit video below.

Acquired directly from Brad Whitford. Brad’s guitar tech personally inspected the guitar. He adjusted the neck, polished the frets, oiled the fretboard, sprayed the pots and installed new strings. The guitar is in excellent working condition with no notable issues. There are visible signs of wear on the front and back of the guitar. The guitar is identified by an Aerosmith inventory tag on the headstock. It includes a hardshell case, one of Brad’s custom Aerosmith guitar pics and a certificate of authenticity signed by Brad Whitford.
