Introducing a Collector’s Edition Clone of Jason Isbell’s Famous ‘59 Les Paul, “Red Eye.”
The story of “Red Eye,” a 1959 Les Paul Standard, begins in a store window. Much of the red color on the top faded while displayed in that store window, except for a patch below the toggle switch that was covered by a hangtag. Ed King of Lynyrd Skynyrd purchased it in 1982 and nicknamed it “Red Eye” after its distinctive appearance, and it was his long-time sidekick. After Ed passed away in 2018, six-time GRAMMY® winner and critically acclaimed singer-songwriter Jason Isbell purchased Red Eye. This storied guitar has now found new life with @jasonisbell , often being featured in his stage and studio performances.
