The Gibson Custom Shop has a longstanding tradition of reissuing specific models of 1950’s and ‘60s electric guitars. The Music Zoo has a longstanding tradition of taking our favorite features of specific models and combining them to make something new and different. Combine the fine craftsmanship of the Gibson Custom Shop and our Music Zoo tweaker tendencies and we present the Zoo Select series. One-off ideas of ours created by the Gibson Custom Shop to our specifications, whether it is a custom neck profile, a specific burst over a certain type of top wood, or a unique pickup combination. After all, the Gibson Custom Shop is in fact – a custom shop.
This Zoo creation is a '59 Reissue Historic Select with a bright and eye-catching Heritage Cherry Sunburst finish, and a neck modeled after the CC#22, the Tommy Colletti '59 Les Paul Custom - where the Gibson Custom Shop digitally scanned The Music Zoo owner Tommy's original '59 Custom and matched its neck down to the millimeter. The neck on the guitar has a pronounced "V" to it and has shallower shoulders than the usual Les Paul - super comfortable and great for ripping fast leads.
