Here you go; sorry if this was already posted...been wondering when one would show up. Well here it is....if you have $25K to spend on it, I will sell you a much better 1968 Les Paul:

Gibson Custom Shop NEW 59 Les Paul Billy Gibbons ZZ Top - eBay (item 320392615090 end time Jul-31-09 23:17:19 PDT)

Sorry to throw water on it, but they say they captured the special tone that Gibbons gets by putting BB1 & BB2 in it? Come on. And it has the same regular fat neck as any other R9 that you can easily find on ebay for $3-4K? And at GC for $4-5K? Well, maybe the Murphy aged ones cost around $6-7K. So Gibbons signs it and maybe strums an E chord (so they can say he actually played it), let Tom Murphy age it, and jack the price up to $25K? Come on.
