Description: This is the 1957 Gibson Les Paul goldtop that Duane Allman purchased in early 1969 and is the guitar on which he learned and perfected his slide style. This was his primary instrument on the first two Allman Brothers albums, countless concerts (including the Fillmores and the Atlanta Pop Festival in 1970, on the bill with Hendrix), and perhaps most significantly, his guitar of choice for pretty much the entire Derek & the Dominoes

This is the 1957 goldtop Les Paul that Duane Allman purchased in early 1969, and is the guitar on which he learned and perfected his slide style. This was his primary instrument on the first two Allman Brothers albums, countless concerts, and perhaps most significantly, Duane's guitar of choice for almost the entire Derek & the Dominoes "Layla" album.
Duane Allman's goldtop is currently on display at The Allman Brothers Band Museum at the Big House in Macon, Georgia, and can also be seen and heard at select concerts.
