Asset Description

 

Overview & Authentication

·Adam Jones was born on January 15, 1965 in Libertyville, Illinois. 

·Jones formed the metal band “Tool” in the early 1990’s with three other musicians. The Atlantic wrote in 2019: “From the early ’90s to 2006, the foursome of Tool stood as a rock-and-roll epitome when rock and roll was a social average. As grunge issued a culture-wide call to bond over psychic wounds by comparing calluses, Tool responded with gnarlier body-and-soul horror than many were prepared for.” 

·Tool released their album “Fear Inoculum” in 2019, 13 years after their last release. The album opened at number one on the Billboard chart, surpassing Taylor Swift. 

·Tool is known for their innovative and odd music videos which often make use of stop-motion filmmaking. Jones, who studied film in college and has appeared in multiple films and television shows, is one of the key creative forces behind these videos. In a March 1994 interview with Guitar School Magazine, Jones said: “I use Gibson guitars; I prefer the Les Paul custom. It's a black guitar with a greenish burst in the middle. They only made them for two or three years. I guess a lot of people complained that the metallic finish was affecting the sound. That's exactly why I like playing it. I have Seymour Duncan pickups, and I can't get the same sound with any other guitar, not even another Gibson, without that finish on it. I have two of them. I'd buy another if I could find one.” 

·On May 11, 1896 Orville Gibson filed for a patent for mandolin, with a carved top and back and sides constructed from one solid piece of wood. 

·The Gibson Mandolin-Guitar Mfg. Co., Ltd was founded in 1902. 

·BB King, Elvis Presley, Jimmy Page, and Slash are among the many influential guitarists to favor Gibson guitars throughout the years. 

·In 2020 Gibson introduced a limited-edition custom guitar modelled after Adam Jones’ favorite guitar, the original Silverburst 1979 Gibson Les Paul Custom. Gibson sold only 79 of these guitars, each signed and numbered by Jones, at a price of $9,999 each. 

·In tandem with the release of the Adam Jones 1979 Les Paul Custom Guitar, Jones Produced a short film called “The Witness.” Jones composed and performed the soundtrack. 

·In October 2020 a pallet of the Adam Jones 1979 Les Paul Custom Guitars was stolen from a truck en route to deliver the instruments to Sweetwater, a leading online retailer. 

·The Underlying Asset is accompanied by a Certificate of Authenticity from Gibson Brands, Inc.

·The Underlying Asset is a 2020 Gibson Adam Jones 1979 Silverburst Les Paul Custom Prototype Guitar. 

·The Underlying Asset was used as the prototype guitar sent to Adam Jones for his approval on the aging and construction of the guitar before the limited edition series went into production.

·The Underlying Asset shows signs of wear consistent with a prototype guitar.
