Gibson Custom celebrates the legacy of guitar icon, songwriter, producer, and arranger Mick Ronson with the Mick Ronson 1968 Les Paul Custom Collector’s Edition, a breathtaking tribute to the instrument Ronson used on tour and in the studio with David Bowie. Produced in an extremely limited run, this model benefits from the meticulous aging artistry of the Murphy Lab, enabling a remarkably accurate recreation of the guitar’s appearance, feel, and voice as it was during the Spiders from Mars era.

The instrument is constructed with a mahogany body and plain maple cap, paired with a mahogany neck carved to an Authentic ’68 Medium C-shaped neck profile. An ebony fretboard with 22 medium jumbo frets and mother-of-pearl block inlays completes the neck. Throughout, aged gold hardware is employed, including Grover® tuners, an ABR-1 bridge, and a heavily worn Stop Bar tailpiece. The mismatched volume and tone knobs recreate the distinctive details of Ronson’s original guitar. 

Electronics include unpotted, aged ’68 Custom humbuckers™ with Alnico 2 magnets and no covers, delivering the forceful, cutting tone that defined Ronson’s sound. CTS® 500k audio taper potentiometers, hand-wired to Black Beauty capacitors, round out the controls, while the Murphy Lab aging faithfully reflects the precise wear patterns created by years of Ronson’s playing. 

Limited to just 100 instruments, each guitar is handcrafted by the skilled luthiers of the Gibson Custom Shop and Murphy Lab in Nashville, Tennessee. The Mick Ronson 1968 Les Paul Custom arrives in a Custom case featuring a Mick Ronson signature reproduction on the exterior, accompanied by a replica strap and a Certificate of Authenticity booklet bearing his reproduced signature on the cover. This release offers a rare chance to own a tangible piece of music history connected directly to one of rock’s most iconic guitarists.

Mick Ronson was an English multi-instrumentalist, songwriter, arranger, and producer whose ability to translate avant-garde concepts into powerful, melodic rock anthems made him a defining architect of the glam rock sound. His work as an arranger reached well beyond his most famous collaborations, spanning artists such as Pure Prairie League, Ellen Foley, and Roger McGuinn, and even extending to the arrangement of John Mellencamp’s Jack & Diane. Ronson partnered closely with Ian Hunter following Hunter’s time with Mott the Hoople, collaborating on four albums, and his versatility made him a sought-after session musician for artists including Bob Dylan, Roger Daltrey, and Van Morrison.

In the role of producer, he guided recordings for artists such as Morrissey and Roger McGuinn, alongside numerous lesser-known performers, but it is Lou Reed’s landmark album, Transformer, where Mick’s distinctive sound is on full display. He co-produced the album with David Bowie and contributed the guitar, piano, and recorder parts. He also wrote and arranged the strings, brass, and piano.

His solo output consisted of five studio albums, among them Slaughter on 10th Avenue, which reached the Top 10 on the UK charts.

Still, Ronson is best remembered for his defining work with David Bowie across multiple landmark albums, including The Man Who Sold the World, Hunky Dory, The Rise and Fall of Ziggy Stardust and the Spiders from Mars, and Aladdin Sane. His playing style—bold, melodic, aggressive, and instantly recognizable—frequently incorporated a fixed-position wah pedal, fuzz, and echo, paired with the 1968 Les Paul™ Custom whose stripped Ebony top gave it a raw, unmistakable look that became inseparable from his identity.

My opinion
Format: Kindle
Let me preface this by saying I really liked the story and the characters however, this book is in desperate need of some sort of editing. It's not misspelled words or formatting, but continuous run on sentences. Redundancies within the sentences. There were a couple of paragraphs that I had to go back and reread 3 or 4 times. Overall, I'd say it was worth the read.

Beautiful
Format: Kindle
I love omegaverses I had looked at this one multiple times thinking it's just another book about cocky rock star guys that let fame get to their heads and there are parts like that so I wasn't 100% off. I started reading the second book and met the fmc Astraea from the first one,after she had a run in with the aphla from the gym.😁 it gave me the push to stop and read book one first and im so glad I did this book was amazing their was so many characters I fell in love with hoping they will find their happily ever after. the guys were great, the plot was 🎯, and the ending had me 😭😭😭. I was wondering how nate could ever redeem himself, and he did. the last scene with him was sad, but I also felt it was beautiful. thank you to the author for making a beautiful omegaverse book that gave me all the feels. now I'm jumping straight into book two.

Knot their Omega
Format: Kindle
It took me a day to really get into the book, there is a lot happening in the beginning of the story. I wish there was more of a time frame because I felt like something’s happened quickly but they were farther away than I thought so that was a little confusing to me. I felt like there was so much happening but also not enough. As for the story itself I enjoyed it, it was different than other OV I’ve read. Bring the tissues, you will need them. They guys were great, I wish we saw more of Kai and Kenjis relationship. As for Nate…… IYKYK. I enjoyed this book, my first from this author and look forward to reading about Kamaris story. Book: ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️/5 Spice: 🌶️.5/5

Has Potential, Poorly Executed
Format: Kindle
I really really wanted to enjoy this book and was looking forward to reading it. However there were just one too many convoluted plot points, sentences just did not flow nicely at times, and I was left with a lot of confusion on my end. I think it has the bones of being a great story but seems like it was rushed and I had to push myself to finish the last of the book and was left with an unsatisfying ending. It’s definitely different from other omegaverse novels I’ve read but not for good reasons. I really think it could be great but needs some serious tweaking and editing before I’d read it again.
