WE LOVE TO TRADE! Not only do the tone woods in this Gibson Custom Shop Les Paul come together to make an all-around game changing instrument, but the Faded Cherry Burst is a killer finish reminiscent of one of the most highly prized and collectible Gibson finishes. The neck is a comfortable, chunky 1960s carve that fits nicely in the palm of your hand all the way up the fretboard. Then we get to the custom wound, vintage-voiced PAF pickups. Gibson is known for that woodsy, throaty midrange characteristic of high-quality Mahogany; the tone just SCREAMS 50s and 60s rock! The huge, deep Mahogany sound is enhanced by a the Maple cap that gives the instrument top-end chime and sparkle. All 1958 to 1960 Bursts are highly collectible, but a handful of transitional guitars that blend the ever-evolving specs are even more prized. As the chunky, rounded neck profile of the 59 segued into the slimmer, faster profile of the 60 Les Paul Standard, a mere handful of fatter 50s-necked examples slipped into the new model year, and of these, the Les Paul owned by legendary music producer and songwriter John Shanks is known to be as good as it gets. Gibson Custom is proud to announce the release of the Collectors Choice #7 1960 Les Paul, an exacting recreation of this hit-making, Grammy Award Winning producers beloved Les Paul. As with each guitar in the Collectors Choice series, John has generously allowed the Gibson Custom team intimate access to his prized Burst, so that every minute detail necessary to recreate the look, feel, and tone of the original has been captured. As a result, you get the precise neck profile, top carve, and vibrant finish with a deep-cherry edge fading ever so slightly to washed-cherry toward the center of the bodyas well as every drop of transition Burst tone thanks to a pair of accurately reproduced Custom Buckers with Alnico III magnets. In short, the Collectors Choice #7 1960 Les Paul is as close as youll come to owning the real thing. This Les Paul is in MINT condition.
