Charles is often referred to as the dean of educators in the field of guitar making, having introduced hundreds of people to this craft and counting many of today's successful luthiers among his former students. Since 1968, Charles has been building guitars both as an independent luthier and as head of guitar production workshops. In 1973 he founded the first school for guitar makers in North America, the School of the Guitar Research & Design Center in South Strafford, VT. In 1993 Charles established the American School of Lutherie in Healdsburg, CA, where he also co-founded the Healdsburg Guitar Festival with Tom Ribbecke and others.

Model: Les Paul Supreme 90th Birthday Model - Signed By Les Paul
Case: Original Hard
Color: Goldtop
Condition: Brand New
Description: SERIOUS INQUIRIES ONLY This very rare guitar is one of the very few limited production instruments crafted for Les Paul's 90th Birthday Party at the Rock n' Roll Hall of Fame in Cleveland. It bears Les' signature (hand-signed by Les) across the lower bout. Never played. Museum Quality. Absolutely no defects of any kind. Built on a Supreme model platform, with gold plated hardware and frets, it is a "Goldtop" Supreme made before the color was available on the model. The "goldtop" Supreme was not offered otherwise until Gibson began the release of the "Guitar of the Month Series". (That instrument was more of a "Bullion Gold" than this actual Goldtop version) It is known that one instrument was given to Les Paul, but there the facts become muddy. Most of these guitars were quietly offered at Gibson's major national chain-type dealers, and almost immediately the very limited number edition sold out. Gibson has confirmed an edition consisting of 90 instruments, one for each year leading to the 90th birthday. Certificate of authenticity from Gibson included. A regular edition Supreme lists at an MSRP of $5,190, and retails at $3400. This never again to be produced and extremely rare model, "90th Birthday Les Paul", hand signed by Les himself, is offered to the discriminating collector or investor. SERIOUS INQUIRIES ONLY. No Overseas shipping. Confirmed addresses Only.
