Gibson / Les Paul 1959 Reissue / 2010 / Iced Tea / Guitar
|
Beautiful R9 in Iced Tea VOS finish. Very light (8 lbs 5.3 oz), great attack and killer sustain. It has a very subtle, but very 3D flame, and it does have great resemblance to Billy Gibbons' Pearly Gates. Very nice, fat, round tone, with that rock taste that makes the Les Paul stand out in modern music history.
The Iced Tea color is beautifully executed, very vintage-like, and certainly does get close to many original burst's fading. The reduced weight is fantastic, and it does not compromise tone or sustain at all. It weights nearly the same as the Brock/DaPra Burst (9 0913), so this in fact historically correct.
Great chance to get your hands on a great R9, with fantastic features: fantastic sound guaranteed and within very reasonable pricing. It is in exceptional condition, only showing signs of very, very minor playwear. Frets show no wear whatsoever.
Includes OHSC, COA and case candy.

Guitar Giraffe, Spain 
In the last few years, online sale for musical instruments has experienced an amazing growth, but has passed right through the pre-owned market (that is, in Spain), limiting it to specialised forums and private owners. This is why Guitar Giraffe was born, the first physical and online second hand guitar and amp store (we like to call it "pre-owned", since we see a big difference between both terms), with a clear commitment of giving new options to guitarists locally and worldwide. Pre-owned guitar stores, so common in UK and USA, were practically nonexistent in Spain. We’ve wanted to fill that empty space by becoming the first physical and online store in our country focused on pre-owned guitars and amps.
