This is my magnificent mint condition Gibson Custom Shop Collector’s Choice #11 "Rosie" and simply is one of the finest hand built guitars to ever have left the Gibson's Custom Shop. Collectors Choice guitars are a Limited Edition run of known classic 1959 Les Paul's and are devoted to painstaking replication of choice original vintage Les Pauls. As a result, these guitars bring players and collectors closer to owning a specific, existing vintage Les Paul than anything else available on the market.  Collector’s Choice #11, 1959 Les Paul 9-0925 aka “Rosie” is not only an extremely pristine reproduction, but also represents perhaps the best-preserved vintage Les Paul that the team at Gibson Custom has ever encountered. While all Les Pauls made between 1958 and 1960 are exceedingly rare, finding one in such stunningly original condition in the hands of only its second owner is simply a breathtaking experience.  In addition to her lineage, “Rosie” has obviously seen very little sunlight in her time, and fully retains her original and unfaded dark cherry finish like few other vintage Les Pauls. Through intimate and painstaking study of the original guitar, Gibson Custom has crafted an uncompromising re-creation of this incredible guitar. Distinct and individual details include her late-’50s “soft V” neck shape, Rosie’s precise top carve with precise renditions of every critical angle and curve, and a pair of custom-wound Custom Bucker PAF reproductions designed, engineered, and built based on extensive testing of the originals, to capture that essential ’burst tone. In short, “Rosie” is as close as you can come to owning the real thing. One piece mahogany neck, long tenon joint, hot hide glue fixing, holly headstock, bumble bee capacitors and all the usual very high-end appointments. Her sounds are simply incredible and have that real PAF sounds, but with all the versatility any serious guitarist would expect and demand. She weighs in at a comfortable 8lbs 6ozs and simply looks "the business"   I will deliver via an Express Courier "FREE OF CHARGE" but may be able to offer a personal delivery for just the petrol money and take cash on delivery.
