Gibson Les Paul Standard 1959 CC #2 Goldie Aged Collectors Choice Amazing Tone Here is one of the best and most beautiful 1959 reissues i had. It even has a’greenish” tint in the finish on the edges of the top. Looks great it’s not just the looks, this is also a superb sounding and playing Goldie. Open sound, vintage mojo. Collectors Choice #2 1959 Les Paul “Goldie” Launched in the spring of 2010, Gibson Custom’s Collector’s Choice’59 Les Paul series focuses on meticulous recreations of rare and specific existing examples from the extremely short run of Les Paul Standards produced in 1959. The second model produced in this series, serial number 9-0629 (aka “Goldie”) is an instrument that presents several of the most desirable aspects of these highly sought-after electric guitars. Crafted with close analysis of the original by Gibson Custom, including digital scanning and measurement from every conceivable perspective, “Goldie” totally embodies the spirit of the Collector’s Choice series by recreating this original individual’59 Les Paul in as near-to-perfect detail as is humanly possible. As such, the instrument presents a rare opportunity for players and collectors alike: a precise reincarnation of the look, tone, and feel of one of the world’s most elusive electric guitars. “Goldie” will be reproduced in strictly limited numbers, with all guitars sent to world-renowned guitar-aging artist Tom Murphy for hand aging.

SEE THE VIDEOS BELOW OF THE BEAST! For sale is the most desired Gibson Collector’s Choice Les Paul of them all… I present to you “THE BEAST”, Collector’s Choice #8. The original “BEAST” Les Paul might very well be the greatest guitar ever made by Gibson. And this Gibson Custom Shop reissue was made to closely match the 1959 Les Paul specs of the original, and includes custom humbuckers wound specifically for this guitar to match the amazing sound of the original. And now “THE BEAST” Collector’s Choice reissue guitars have taken on a life of their own because they are so prized by guitar collectors from around the globe! It’s a favorite of guitar legend Joe Bonamassa, and no guitar collection is complete without “THE BEAST”! The original “BEAST” is the now famous guitar that helped launch Bernie Marsden’s career of Whitesnake fame. Early in Bernie’s career the story is that a local guitar dealer appeared out of nowhere and brought Bernie this guitar at a live show. The man said this was the guitar for him! When Bernie first used the guitar on stage everyone listening heard his new incredible sound and wondered if he had turned up his amplifier, but it was just the guitar! Bernie and his audience had just experienced the breathtaking awe of THE BEAST, as the sound of his playing cut through the mix like never before! For this Collector’s Choice guitar reissue, Gibson has analyzed every square inch of Bernie’s original 1959 Les Paul to bring you their closest copy of both looks and sound of the original. It is almost impossible to get your hands on one today because few people ever want to sell one. And this one comes with its original case and certificate of authenticity, and also original hang tags and case candy. I will upload more pics soon, and a pic of the COA, and the case candy! Don’t miss your chance to own THE BEAST! It is quite simply like no other guitar you will ever play! This one was collector owned and never left the house. It has been played only a handful of times. Now keep in mind this is an aged guitar which means the wear on this guitar and other Collector’s Choice series guitars was created artfully by Gibson, in the Gibson Custom Shop, to make this reissue look like the original BEAST, putting on wear exactly as it is on Bernie’s BEAST. That is how Gibson made them, by hand, and therefore each one is ever so slightly different. You will LOVE this guitar. It plays like a dream. You’ll be part of a small circle of lucky people on planet earth that get to own THE BEAST! AND BE SURE TO WATCH THE ANDERTON’S VIDEO BELOW WHICH SHOWCASES “THE BEAST” IT’S INCREDIBLE!!!

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. Frets show virtually no play wear; overall fit and finish looks pristine. Original hardshell case & COA.
