Choosing to have your purchased guitar Plek’d will delay the shipping. One of the team will be in contact with a rough ETA but we will endeavour to have your new guitar with you as quickly as possible. Current lead time is 2-3 weeks from the date of purchase.

If you choose to return the guitar after it’s had a Plek setup you will still be liable for the cost of the plek setup except for in cases where we’ve offered it as part of a promotion or offer.

Description

Number 99 from the run, this is truly an incredible guitar and it really looks like a genuine 'burst!

The top is killer, the binding colour is bang on and the tone is straight from the history books!

Selected matching figured maple, a digitally scanned neck shape and dish carve, accurate PAF repros, and gentle hand aging re-create an unusually well-preserved Burst.

An encounter with a genuine '59 Les Paul is breathtaking on any occasion, but when it's a genuine one-owner 'Burst like this one the experience is almost too intense for words. Loved and carefully played by its original owner for nearly five decades, this stunning Les Paul popped up in 2008 when the owner contacted Gibson. Gibson consulted noted Burst aficionado Vic DaPra-who just had to have it. Ultimately, Vic passed this gem along to an anonymous Texas collector, known for his generous entrustment of his prized collection to a network of active players. Now Gibson Custom brings you Collector's Choice^TM #30 1959 Les Paul aka "Gibson Appraisal Burst/Gabby", a detail-perfect re-creation of one of the best preserved 'Bursts ever known. From its rich Cherry Red finish that remains remarkably strong and unfaded, to its gorgeously three-dimensional figured maple top with minimal playing wear, to its precise neck shape and top carve-and the Custom Buckers that accurately re-create its original PAFs-this is as close as you can possibly come to owning an immaculate vintage '59 Les Paul. Gabby will be produced in a Limited Edition of up to 300 guitars, as qualifying materials allow.
