Selling my 2015 R9 True Historic specs Gibson Les Paul 1959 Reissue that received a Historic makeover by the renowned Brian Monty:
1. Beautiful authentic old growth very dark Brazilian board
2. Also neck carve is shaped accurately for actual 59 with very small shoulders C-neck profile.
3. Accurate historic fret wire - easy string bends
4. Genuine 50s aged cellulose inlays
5. Proper thin and hard nitrocellulose lacker
6. Hot hide glue
7. Real Luxe Pio bumblebee capacitors
8. Rolled binding for aged smooth rounded edges
9. Received a total Plek package
10. VIP pots harness for pure vintage sound
11. Refinished color to Vintage Darkburst (the most time consuming color to do on a guitar as it has many shades specific to 1959)
12. Top is Eastern Rock Maple
Still has the original True Historic CustomBuckers as they sound very clear and articulate.
There’s aging on the guitar - some nitro checking, darkened plastics, rolled binding, swirling and scratches - a vintage player grade guitar.
Has a great tone, very clear and airy with lots of sizzle and blooming notes. As close to a vintage burst sounds!
Weighs in at 8lbs 15oz (8.93lbs)
Asking $5,800 PayPal gift or wire transfer
Ship insured with UPS or Fedex
I’m not sure I’m ready to part with it as it has everything and more for a 59 Les Paul, but I have to sell due to circumstances.
Resonates forever and sounds very vintage
Comes with original case and hand tags, certificate etc
Not interested in any trades or unreasonable offers
Feel free to ask questions or more pics
Thanks!
