Description Body Type: Solid
It is with a heavy heart that I offer for sale my much loved Gibson Custom Shop 59 Les Paul Reissue in Lemonburst. I am selling to help fund the build of a new home.Put simply, it looks, plays and sounds vintage (I have fooled a few people)! This guitar has barely been played as I kept it as a collectors piece. I made some improvements to the guitar, such as more accurate vintage replica parts and pickups, which are noted further below.The guitar features heavy ageing and beautiful checking of the nitro lacquer.Guitar description from the website when purchased in 2012: "From the Hallowed Halls of Gibson's Custom/Historic Division, and the tone maniacs at Wildwood Guitars we are proud to present the Wildwood Spec Historic Les Pauls!These incredible creations feature hand selected hardwoods, Tone Pros long studs and anchors, and Special Designed Gibson Custom Bucker pickups wound to Wildwood spec. The long anchors transfer more resonance and sustain and a piano-like fundamental; a bigger, throatier, and more masculine singing voice; The high end is more balanced, open and present without any of the harsher, spiky transients."Serial Number: 932143
