Justin Hawkins Les Paul Custom Collection
05 Aug 2016
We recently purchased a collection of 3 Les Paul Customs that previously belonged to Justin Hawkins - Lead guitarist and singer of the popular rock band 'The Darkness'. Justin is best known for using a white Les Paul Custom, however, had 3 guitars specially made back 2003. The Darkness have enjoyed success on a major scale, from winning Brit Awards, to headlining huge festivals.
The band consists of Justin Hawkins, his brother Dan Hawkins, Frankie Poullain and Rufus Taylor. Their debut album 'Permission to Land' landed at number 2 on the UK Charts and then went on to sell 1.5 million copies in the UK alone!
The 3 Les Paul Customs come with great provanance as per below and have great importance for any hard rock collector. The guitars have also been verified to have been made specifically for Justin Hawkins by Gibson Europe.
