Gibson Les Paul Junior (1955) Sunburst – Ex Gary Moore / Steve Jones
Offered at 75 000 €, this 1955 Gibson Les Paul Junior stands out for its exceptional dual provenance, having been owned by Gary Moore and Steve Jones of Sex Pistols.
Built in the classic single-cut configuration, it features a slab mahogany body and a single P-90 pickup, delivering the direct, resonant, and highly dynamic response that defines early Les Paul Juniors.
Finished in Sunburst with visible playwear, the instrument reflects both its age and its time in the hands of two influential players across distinct musical eras.
A rare and historically significant example, offering strong appeal for collectors seeking a provenance-rich piece from Gibson’s golden period.

Matts Guitar Shop, France 
In a milieu where desirable objects are generally locked away in a safe or behind glass, Matthieu Lucas’ collection is a refreshing exception to the rule.
He represents a new generation of guitar lovers, for whom music comes first and the sound is more important than the serial number. Like any fine collection, Matthieu Lucas’ one has a speciality: he tracks down instruments that have belonged to artists, from Jeff Buckley’s Telecaster to Tal Farlow’s Gibson, not to mention Spot - one of the few sunbursts to be found in France and which belonged to a certain Joe Bonamassa.
Through perseverance, Matthieu managed to open doors that are generally kept well shut and gained access to instruments that were not even supposed to be sold. And true to the principle that the love of music comes first, Matthieu is not the type to prevent a guitarist from enjoying his or her prized jewels.
Out of that desire to share, he finally created the Matt’s Guitar Shop showroom, a special place for selling and trading that gives Paris back its reputation for excellence in the area of beautiful guitars. Inspired and inspiring instruments, which continue to bring beautiful notes to the ears of music lovers.
