Gibson Custom Shop 1959 Les Paul 2016 Historic Makeovers RDS Package 2009 - Lemonburst

Product Description

Here we have an awesome 2009 Gibson Custom Shop '59 Les Paul with a 2016 Historic Makeovers RDS package! This aged lemonburst model sports a set of Throbak humbuckers.

The guitar has been upgraded by Historic Makeovers with a Brazilian rosewood fingerboard, correct inlays, nylon nut, a reshaped neck profile and aged parts. It has also been correctly refinished and aged with vintage style nitrocellulose lacquer. It's been equipped with a set of 2012 Throbak SLE-101 MXV pickups with aged nickel covers.

The guitar weighs 8lbs 1oz. The neck measures .850 to .980 at the 1st and 12th. It has an oval C shape with good vintage depth, but not too much shoulder. It feels fantastic and plays easily. The guitar is well-balanced, lively and open sounding. It has a biting mid-range with nice overtones and a glassy top end. The donor guitar probably sounded great, but there's certainly some mojo to the Makeover! Overall it is one of the finer '59 Les Paul examples we've had.

This guitar ships in a recent Gibson Custom Shop Aged Lifton case. It includes the COA, warranty card, hang tags and paperwork from 2009 when it was manufactured. It also includes the 2016 Historic Makeovers COA, as well as the Throbak pickups box.
