Gibson Les Paul Classic Antique Zebrawood 1 of 400 - USA 2007

Here’s a unique piece of Gibson history that blends tradition with tasteful modern flair. The Les Paul Classic Antique series was introduced in the mid-2000s as a nod to the revered design of late-’50s Les Pauls, with a few modern twists to suit contemporary players. Built in Gibson’s Nashville plant, the Classic Antique models retained vintage-inspired appointments while incorporating updated features like chambered bodies for weight relief and improved resonance.

The 2007 Gibson Les Paul Classic Antique Zebrawood was a limited edition release, with only 400 units produced worldwide. This model was part of Gibson's "Guitar of the Week" series, specifically Week #19, and is highly sought after due to its rarity and distinctive features.

This example is a stand out with its striking Zebrawood top, part of a limited run that pushed aesthetic boundaries while retaining the classic Les Paul tone. Zebrawood’s bold striping gives this guitar a boutique custom-shop vibe, and the natural finish lets the woodgrain shine through beautifully.

It features a chambered mahogany body, carved Zebrawood top, 60s slim taper neck, and a rosewood fingerboard with trapezoid inlays. Under the hood, it’s loaded with Gibson’s Classic ’57 humbuckers — revered for their articulate, vintage-voiced PAF-style tone with warmth, clarity, and bite. It also includes a modern Nashville-style Tune-o-Matic bridge, Gibson Deluxe tuners, and cream neck and headstock binding for a clean, classic look.

Tonally, this guitar offers the best of both worlds — the warmth and sustain you’d expect from a Les Paul, paired with a slightly airier response thanks to the chambered body. Whether clean or driven, it responds beautifully to dynamics and sits well in any mix. The slim neck profile makes it a joy to play, especially for those who prefer a faster, more modern feel.

This one’s in excellent condition, with only the lightest signs of use. Well cared for and freshly set up, it’s ready to inspire in the studio, on stage, or in your collection.
