No, Its is known that vintage stingers used premium Chromium plating as tone enhancers in the past!

Word's out that they do have Brazilian boards, but as of this time Gibson is in no position to advertise it.

[kdm]

until now there is only the youtube video, its not listed in the online store.......

But they listed CC#3......

[planks]

Isn't that the first time we see Honey Burst as an optional finish for a '58-'60 LP reissue..?

Interesting to see some pics of it when they come out..

[planks]

..INCLUDING original Lifton case..

Now that is not entirely correct.

Rosewood not required. My Stinger is a LPC Axcess, ebony board and to really upset the purists...a Floyd Rose trem

[Mannish Boy]

Rosewood inlays....trapezoid frets... I can only dream of such a guitar.

[jamman]

[AxeBuilder]

They all look stunning! Has anyone found them on the Session Music website? I'm curious how much they're asking for them.

[gypsyseven]

I couldn't find them either...

[nicolasrivera]

if they manage to list it up correctly. This is such a huge store and the guys in the web-department have so little knowledge of e-commerce.... Their search engine is lousy. In most times it's almost impossible to find something listed even with the correct specification. Last time i had to give it up and drive to the store which only is a 20 minutes drive for me

[nicolasrivera]

Well Sharky, your the man to try this guitars when they are available.

From Google Translate:

"Earlier this year came Gauf Simon, our guitar buyer, and Oliver Lohmann, our Youtube Gitarrenspezi, the idea of ​​the Gibson Custom Shop in Nashville give back to a special edition of Session in order. After the resounding success of last year's Special runs with Lightly Figured Chambered Les Paul, which are completely sold out for some time, the boys have also come up with something special this time.

When the Gibson Les Paul 1958 Ultimate Stinger is handmade guitars that come with a massive 58 mm full-body, therefore, but equipped with the preferred by many players are neck-'59. Thus, virtually merged the best of two legendary Les Paul vintages in ways that make it so in the "reality" never existed. In order to put an exclamation point visually, the two moved to the standard work rate when it comes to vintage Paula with some very famous owners is: The Beauty Of The Burst by Yasuhiko Iwanade. Hence, they chose three beautiful colors - a burst Brock, a Light Honey Burst and Tobacco and a burst. With the latter it has a special Bewandnis: Your role model is a guitar of Slash, even in the Guns N 'Roses video to see "November Rain". The '59 Les Paul Slash bought it from Joe Perry and gave it to him many years later on the 50th Birthday back - definitely a nice story about it."
