“THE SPIRIT OF AMERICA” LES PAUL GUITAR was created at the request of Gold Leaf Corporation, under an exclusive agreement with The Statue of Liberty–Ellis Island Foundation, Inc., at Gibson’s Custom & Historic Shop in Nashville, Tennessee to celebrate freedom.

This special guitar has been meticulously hand-crafted by Gibson Master Luthiers from wood removed and preserved from the historic Registry Building at Ellis Island and inlaid with copper removed during the centennial restoration of the Statue of Liberty.

Through the universal language of music, this beautiful work of instrumental art will always serve to inspire the unifying message of Liberty & Freedom in America and throughout the World.

The impressive one-of-a-kind display has also been created by Gibson from an armature bar removed and preserved from the Statue of Liberty. Designed by Gustave Eiffel, this armature ring completely encircles and cradles this special guitar in a “Framework of Freedom”.

This custom Les Paul Guitar is a true artifact of American History and is the only guitar in the world created from Statue of Liberty & Ellis Island artifacts; it is truly a National Treasure.
