We Three King§ liui'tar§ The Gibson Custom Shop has teamed up with three of the best motorcycle designers of our time to create three exciting one-of-a-kind customized motorcycles and three exciting new motorcycle-themed guitars. For years Arlen Ness, Dave Perewitz and Donnie Smith have led the way in custom motorcycles. Now they have turned their attention to the guitar world . From insane paint jobs to totally outside -the-box body shapes, Ness, Perew itz and Smith are taking guitars where they have never bee n before. There's the tradit ional Les Paul with hot-rod flames des igned by Perewitz and inspired by his design discussions with his friends in Aerosmith. There's the heavily influenced motorcycle gas tank shape of Smith's design and the utterly unique body shape by Ness. Each guitar was handbuilt by the master craftsman of the Gibson Custom Shop in Nashville, Tennessee , and created by the 3 Kings of Custom themselves.
