Gibson Custom Shop Les Paul Standard 1959 Reissue R9 – Cherry Sunburst (2005)
If you know, then you know! R9’s are simply incredible and the closest thing you are going to get to an original Gibson 1959 Les Paul without many, many more £00,000’s. The Les Paul is an iconic guitar used by many guitar heroes over the years.
This Gibson Custom Shop Les Paul ’59 Reissue displays a highly figured flamed maple top with loads of movement in different light, a beautiful mahogany back and neck as well as a rosewood fret board. It is in lovely condition for a guitar over 20 years old. The hardware is ageing beautifully and has light tarnishing to most the metal parts. It weighs a comfortable 4kg / 8.8 lbs and comes with the original Certificate of Authenticity (COA) and original Lifton reissue case.
It has had a full setup, making various small adjustments to lower the action and make the guitar sing, this included a fretboard condition, and it’s been re-strung with a new set of D’Addario nickel wound XL strings (10-46) gauge.
If you have any questions, please do not hesitate to ask.
Condition: Used but in good condition.
