FSOT Gibson Benchmark Les Paul 58/59 reissue

[Mickey_C]

This is a custom run 1958/1959 Benchmark neck Les Paul with Benchmark pickups. It's an insanely good guitar.

These Benchmark guitars were exclusive to Rainbow Guitars, Dave's Guitar Shop, Wildwood Guitars, and the Music Zoo. They have a 59 Benchmark neck with vintage spec-correct frets and binding, along with the Benchmark (underwound) pickups. They are also hot hide glue tops neck fit and fretboard.

Here's a link to Greg Koch playing one.

Here's the original webpage for this one from Rainbow Guitars, where I purchased it.

Weight 8 lbs 10oz

Thickness of neck, measured without strings, right behind each fret:
first fret: 0.94"
12th fret: 1.04"

*** I am withdrawing it from sale. I am just going to refret it***

I am keeping the guitar.

I've decided to just refret it with narrow tall frets.

I can have my cake and eat it too.

What I can't do is delete this entire thread. lol.
