Description

This is a 10th Anniversary, Chambered '59 Les Paul Reissue, the second of these that I have been able to acquire in recent weeks. For this anniversary run, Gibson did mostly chambered '58 models, but also did a very limited number of these '59 models and this guitar is one of the first in the series. The light weight of these chambered LP's is a godsend for an old fart like me and I really like the woody resonant tone they offer. ZZ Top front man Billy Gibbons is now using heavily chambered Pearly Gates LP's on stage, so the tone obviously appeals to some players. This gorgeous lemon burst guitar weighs just 7 pounds, six ounces. The neck measures .912" at the first fret and 1.04" at the twelfth. This is a VOS model and as such has been given light factory aging consisting of a light finish patina given along with some aging of the hardware and plastics. The top on this one has great figuring and is book-matched nicely. The tone is killer - fat and woody with lots of that unique LP attack. As a 2014 model, this guitar of course has all the new and desirable improvements Gibson made in the 2013 and later guitars: the use of hot hide glue to fit the long tenon neck joint; more accurate aniline dyes and binding material; lighter but non-weight-relieved bodies; the new and better sounding 'Custom Bucker' pickups; no surround on the truss rod, and so on. This instrument has seen only light play and is in great condition with little wear beyond the factory VOS aging. It comes with the similarly nice Lifton style brown case, the certificate of authenticity and hang tags. If you want a superb, near new, late model LP reissue and you want it LIGHT, this guitar is for you!
