Provenance:
This exceptional guitar comes directly from the personal collection of Bibi McGill, world-renowned guitarist and musical director for Beyoncé. A piece with this kind of celebrity provenance, boutique craftsmanship, and exotic aesthetic is a rare find on the market.
Personal Thoughts:
This is one of the most visually breathtaking guitars we've ever had in The Vault — a true work of art that somehow sounds even better than it looks. The tonal range from the Lollars combined with the Mojo circuit gives this instrument a voice like no other — from classic Les Paul-style warmth to shimmering cleans with surgical clarity. The tactile feel of the Korina neck and the response of the bridge is simply world-class. This is collector-grade, celebrity-owned, and performance-ready all in one.
Condition Report:
In mint condition, clearly cherished and barely played. The top is flawless with stunning mosaic detailing, the frets are pristine, and the hardware is clean and bright. No marks, wear, or fading to report. This is as close to new as you'll find a guitar of this age — museum-worthy.
