Gibson Les Paul Owned by Dickey Betts Hits the Auction Block
A Piece of Rock and Roll History
Custom Shop Limited Edition Dickey Betts Red Top 57 Les Paul
A 1958 sunburst Gibson Les Paul, owned and played on stage by legendary Allman Brothers Band guitarist Dickey Betts, is now up for auction. The guitar, known as the "Custom Shop Limited Edition Dickey Betts Red Top 57 Les Paul," is a highly sought-after piece of rock and roll memorabilia.
Previously owned by two bona-fide members of the Southern-rock royal family, former Allman Brothers Band guitarists Dickey Betts and Les Dudek, the guitar has a rich history. In the early 1990s, the guitar was refinished red by Betts, adding to its unique character.
The guitar is expected to fetch a high price at auction, as it is a rare and iconic piece of music history. Betts played the guitar on numerous Allman Brothers Band recordings and performances, and it is considered one of the most important guitars in his collection.
