The Story

Collectors Choice 7 John Shanks 1960 Les Paul Faded Cherry 2013

Part of the coveted Collectors Choice series from the Gibson Custom Shop which replicates specific '50s Les Pauls down to the color, aging and neck profiles - this is a 2013 Collectors Choice #7 John Shanks '60 Les Paul. This is modeled after a '60 owned by musician John Shanks which was a transition-era '60 that retained the fatter neck profile of a 1959 Les Paul. With an in-house aged Faded Cherry finish, the guitar looks every bit the part and sounds it too! The wear is all original with the hardshell case and COA included!

Includes: Original Hardshell Case and Certificate of Authenticity
