Thomas Rodriguez’s Buxton model revives the spirit of Gibson’s 1958 Crestwood, offering a high-end take on their solidbody designs.

Think of the Crestwood as the Les Paul Standard to the Coronet’s Les Paul Junior—rare, with a unique twist on Gibson’s classic mahogany-bodied electrics. Thomas elevates this vintage design with top-tier craftsmanship, lightweight tonewoods, and flawless fit and finish that rivals the best in the business.

Playability and tone are front and center here. Featuring a two-piece flame maple top, a one-piece Honduran mahogany body and neck, MojoAxe wraparound tailpiece, and Fralin Pure PAF humbuckers, the Buxton delivers those clear, low/medium output tones we love from vintage Les Pauls—perfect for clean or driven sounds.

Rodriguez also adds an elegant design touch with a maple inlay on the headstock, nodding to the classic Epiphone "bikini" badge in true artisan style. Every detail, big or small, reflects Thomas’ unwavering attention to quality.

We’re loving this guitar, along with every other Rodriguez build we’ve ever played. These are truly extraordinary instruments, and we’re proud to showcase them.
