The Story

1959 Les Paul Standard Brazilian Rosewood Fretboard Electric Guitar Sunrise Tea Burst

That's right! The coveted "B" word on a gorgeous '59 Les Paul Reissue...Brazilian, baby! This is a new 2017 Gibson Custom Shop '59 with a Sunrise Tea Burst heavily aged finish over a flame maple top with a Carmelita top carve, solid mahogany body with all-hide glue construction, two E-Bucker humbucker pickups, and a great looking Brazilian rosewood fretboard, just like the original guitars had. The neck profile on this one is carved to CC #22 Tommy Colletti specs which gives the guitar a sharp "V" shape like the original 1959 Les Paul Custom it was laser-modeled after, and the guitar is heavily aged to appear similar to the wear patterns of the Joe Perry '59 Les Paul.

Includes: Hardshell Case, Certificate of Authenticity, Hang Tags, Paperwork
