Mary Ford was more than just one of the biggest recording artists of the early 1950s—she was a pioneering guitarist and vocalist who, alongside Les Paul, helped revolutionize modern recording and multi-track harmonies. With 16 top-ten hits and millions of records sold, her smooth, layered vocals and genre-blending guitar work left an indelible mark on music history.

Gibson honors her legacy with the Mary Ford Les Paul - this example being from the earlier late '90s run - inspired by a one-of-a-kind 1958 Goldtop believed to have been made at Mary’s request. This stunning reissue features a Vintage Cherry back (a rarity for Goldtops), a cream and gold floral pickguard and armrest, and a mahogany body with a carved maple cap.

A '58 C shaped mahogany neck, rosewood fretboard, and a pair of 57 Classic humbuckers deliver the legendary tone and playability that defined Mary’s sound.

Complete with a hardshell case and paperwork, this Les Paul pays tribute to an artist whose innovation continues to inspire generations of players.
