2016 Gibson Custom Shop Collector's Choice #45- "Danger Burst" Limited Edition-002

57 years ago the original Les Paul Standard #9 0679 was born in Kalamazoo, Mi. It soon found its way to Europe where it played countless gigs for the next 40 years before its new owner found it, fell in love with its tone and beauty, and ultimately brought it home to the USA. 

"Danger Burst" has quite a story to tell. A Bigsby removed, a strap button relocated then returned, and the scars of 100's of gigs over the decades.  What hasn't changed is the iconic beauty and legendary tone that set this Burst apart from the others.This is Gibson Custom Shops #002 in this very limited run of these extraordinary hand crafted collector "Danger Burst" replica's.

From Gibson via the web...

"I was looking for a beautiful '59 with great tone. When I first picked up "Danger 'Burst", it felt alive, like it wanted to play itself. It only took a few seconds to know that this was the guitar I'd been searching for."-Anonymous Owner of Original Serial #9 0676


If you put the Original 1959 Les Paul Standard #9 0676 in a glass case in a gallery surrounded by fine works of art, it would look completely in place.  

But she wasn't made to sit in a case. Like all great guitars, she was made to be played. And it was her tone that won over her current owner. Within a few seconds, he knew this was the guitar for him. One strum on one of its Collector's Choice counterparts and we believe you'll experience that same, immediate and intense attraction. 

Collector's Choice #45, a detailed replica of original 1959 Les Paul Standard #9 0676, exhibits all the rugged, well-played beauty and tone of a masterpiece built by Gibson over 50 years ago then owned and played in Europe for 40 years until finding its way back to the USA, where an anonymous collector fell in love and made it his own."

Built on the true historic spec's introduced in 2014 that set the new standard for historic accuracy and the return to the original vision Les Paul had for his iconic guitar from the beginning. 

Solid mahogany body with two piece flamed maple top finished in a perfectly faded Burst, rosewood fretboard, aged period correct hardware. Custom Bucker pickups and hide glued long tenon neck and top.

As expected, the guitar plays like a dream with exceptional resonance and sustain. Soaring highs, warm and woody mids, and very articulate bottom. Bends beautifully up and down the entire length of the neck.  Simply amazing!
Weight 8 lbs. 6 oz.

Comes with the heavily aged custom case, COA, and all hang tags.
