Today, I recieved email from The Music Zoo saying that
Collector's Choice™ #4 1959 Les Paul "Sandy" (TW59)

has arived. The price is $6,699.00 and comes in Green Lemon VOS.

Here's a link in which The Music Zoo describes how Gibson So valiantly worked to try to perfect every detail.

Anatomy Of A Legend: 1959 Gibson Les Paul “Sandy”

So, What are your thoughts

It's another Les Paul.

LesAdrian · 08-08-2012, 10:26 AM

I thought that Gibson only produce Aged models.

I would love to bring it on stage still in the case, lay it down on the stage flat, and start dry humping it. I would do this for a minute or two. Then I would pick up any of my other Les Pauls and start the show.

I would like to have this Sandy guitar, but not for the price. I also like AA flame the best. I think people would like to see me dry hump the case though.

Odd first post. Do you work at the music zoo? Are you thinking of buying it?

ledzepp2122 · 08-08-2012, 12:03 PM

I guess the Collector Series is mainly for Collectors. Collectors wouldn't mind having to spend serious money for a piece of history as for musicians are who more focused on playability, reliability and sound. I would buy it but I wouldn't want to have this as my first Les Paul. I'm only 15 so I have time to work my way up to that league. Money isn't a problem.

Collectors are people too.

What "history" does a reissue have, other than engineered history? I don't know who this is supposed to be for.

I guess you could lie to guitar buffs by telling them it's a real '59 burst and never let them see the back of the headstock. They might get down on their knees and bow while chanting "We're not worthy".

MeKevin · 08-08-2012, 12:42 PM

You love it forever. It is your Sandy.

Backstage · 08-08-2012, 12:46 PM

Erm, you do not plan to buy a Sandy yourself, don't you? So, you ignore all the other threads about the new CC?

ledzepp2122 · 08-08-2012, 02:05 PM

I had not seen the others threads of the new CC.

Rock City · 08-09-2012, 01:09 AM

Me like it. Always have dirty thoughts about lemon bursts and zebra hums. I would buy it for $2,000. And I even like the name "Sandy". Reminds me of Shauna Sand - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
