This is without doubt, the best Gibson Les Paul that i've ever played. The tone is just phenomenal, the neck feels unreal too, it's just the perfect 59 profile.
It only weighs 8lbs 4oz, so it's super light, which makes for an incredibly resonant tone.
It's the best sounding Les Paul that i've ever heard, it's just classic kossoff, green, page etc. All of those tones are in there.
This is set to become another classic from the collectors choice range of classic electric guitars from Gibson and being one of only 100 worldwide, it's sure to have incredible investment potential. This has to be one of the most revered 'bursts' ever made.

Collector's Choice TM #9 1959 Les Paul "Believer Burst" Late'50s sunburst Les Pauls are universally acknowledged as the most desirable electric guitars ever made, and the latest in Gibson Custom's Collector's Choice TM series takes "desirable" right off the charts. This dramatically figured burst with wide chevrons in its carved maple top-newly recreated as Collector's Choice TM #9 1959 Les Paul "Believer Burst"-is one of the most beautiful original bursts in existence. It's also one of the most famous.
Tracked down by collector and author Vic DaPra over the course of 30 years, this very special 1959 Les Paul became the centerpiece of DaPra's collection in 2008, and appears on the cover of his 2013 book Burst Believers. Thanks to DaPra's close cooperation, Gibson Custom has scanned, traced, and measured every curve and parameter of the "Believer Burst" to bring this most exalted of '59 Les Pauls into the hands of discerning players and collectors today.
Among the most aesthetically beautiful examples of an original burst in the entire Collector's ChoiceTM series, this guitar has been recreated in a strictly limited run of a maximum of 100 examples, based on unrestricted access to the original. As such, the "Believer Burst" comes to life in revealing both its visual splendor, and details well beyond those experienced only with the eye. Each replica is crafted to capture a complete representation of the original. The fade to its strikingly vibrant cherry sunburst finish and all of its playing wear have been painstakingly hand-matched to the guitar's current condition, providing players and collectors the otherworldly experience of one of the world's most prized guitars.
