I get chills playing this Gibson Custom Shop R9 1959 Reissue Les Paul
Музыка
Historically accurate details
To revive the very essence of the original '59 Les Paul Standard guitar, Gibson Custom spared no expense, painstakingly recreating each part of the 1959 Reissue Les Paul piece by piece. The original non-weight-relieved mahogany body, hand-carved and bookmatched maple top, and holly-head veneer headstock are only the beginning. The accuracy of the details goes all the way down to the straight-line positioning of the 1959 Reissue Les Paul's vintage-style tulip tuners, the size and shape of the acrylic trapezoid block inlays, and the '50-style long neck tenon joint. If you hold the Gibson Custom 1959 Reissue Les Paul up to the original, you'd be more than hard-pressed to tell them apart.
Only listed "excellent" because of the pickup change. Otherwise in mint condition.
Extremely limited in production due to its time-intensive labor and old-world manufacturing processes, this custom shop Les Paul boasts obsessive accuracy true to the original vintage instrument. Beyond an authentic look and feel that captures the essence of a legendary era, it has the tonal capabilities that will let you define your own.
Loaded with ThroBak SLE-101 Plus P.A.F. Humbuckers that are made in America to vintage specs down to every single detail, “phenomenal” and “perfect” are the most common words used to describe its performance. After all, word around town is that ThroBak makes the best retro pickups out there today.
Gibson Custom 1959 Reissue Les Paul Solidbody Electric Guitar Features:
* A spot-on recreation of the original 1959 Les Paul Standard
* Every detail meticulously recreated to give you the look, sound, and feel of a vintage '59 model
* Vintage non-weight-relieved mahogany body with hand-carved, book matched maple top
* 1959 neck attached with '50s-style long neck tenon
* Fine details include vintage-style tulip tuners in a straight line, holly-holly-head veneer headstock, and original acrylic trapezoid block inlay shape
* Vintage CTS potentiometers and bumble bee capacitors coupled with Throbak pickups
* Original Hardshell Gibson Custom Shop Case included
* Comes with Original Gibson Custom Shop Certificate of Authenticity

Wow, that might be one of the best sounding LPs I’ve ever heard. I like how each switch position yielded very individual tones. As different as the neck and bridge were from each other, they sounded great when combined in the middle position. Very balanced. But then again, with your skills, you can make a fishing line nailed to a broom handle sound exquisite!

In the 70's I had a wonderful custom Gibson Les Paul Sunburst left-handed, I waited 4 months for it it was rather expensive 🫰 but it never left my side. To rehearsals, studio, and on stage. The tone was bliss! And no other guitar felt like it! Sure it was heavy but with time you can get used to it... That 59' reissue is just wonderful! After several years I had to move to Europe and sold it. I regret it still to this day 😢

Really beautiful playing here, especially the beginning. Fantastic tone, as well. Tonemaster, eh? Lovely. Is the gain just from that amp? // That beautiful first part is inspiring me. I’m 56 and have never learned how to solo. I can play Van Halen riffs and whatnot, but I don’t even bother with solos…. Over the last couple of months, I’ve had less and less interest in even picking up my guitars at all. Maybe just general anhedonia, maybe just boredom from lack of progress? But I think I’m going to start again, from the beginning as if I were new to it all. With the objective of being able to do what you did here. I mean, I can probably copy some of it now, but… I couldn’t improvise it. I just don’t have the grasp of any theory and a poor memory for scales…. But, this helps with rebuilding motivation. Thank you.

High end Gibson is one of a kind. No other company will ever come close. It's not only a sound thing, it is a feel and a texture of emotion. For example, performing a proper technique vibrato on a guitar this heavy w a neck like this one. U did this piece the justice it deserves.

In Canadian funds this guitar is around $10,000.00. What Gibson had done is create the illusion that their guitars are above all others which they are not. They are among the top of the guitar food chain but not necessarily better than guitars half their price.

There's no question that the LP is the most beautiful guitar ever built. Toss the pickguard and covered pickups in the trash and swap in some black/cream zebras and then, it is the most beautiful. The pickguard and covered pickups look g@y, too me. Like taking reflectors off the spokes of a bike. Must be done.
I get chills thinking about how they actually get people to pay the ridiculous amount of money 💰that they charge for a brand new guitar. It's criminal. I hope and pray every day that Gibson goes out of business, and never returns. Same for Mark Greasy and his filthy t-shirt and leather jacket.
