Gibson 1959 Les Paul Custom Shop 60th Anniversary
Guitar description
This stunning Les Paul has come our way recently and we're delighted to have such a top end Les Paul in stock. This example is the 59 60th Anniversary model from 2019. The flame on the top of this guitar is just stunning. It stands out head and shoulders above most other flame tops and looks striking from most angles. It came to us from a past customer who has exquisite taste in guitars and only buys the very best. This example remains in superb condition, played but not very much and with very few small marks on. It comes presented in the original case with all the tags and of course the certificate. In terms of playability and sound this edition is just as good as it gets. Incredible classic tones, ringing harmonics and whether you want to do a Clapton Beano thing or turn up the gain and go full on Slash this will sing. The sustain is incredible and the flame on the top just looks amazing. I have included some differently lit and varying angles of the flame top so you can see how it looks in various situations. Unlike some Les Paul’s this one just has great flame which ever way you look at it. A truly amazing top!
