Gibson / Les Paul 1959 Reissue / 2011 / Darkburst / Guitar
|
Spectacular R9 in Darkburst finish, one of our favorites. Very lightweight (8lbs 4.8oz) and with huge sustain & resonance. A real treat to play and look at.
The neck profile is very comfortable, the earliest (thickest) 59, with a very dark rosewood fretboard. The finish is Gloss (which was a 300$ upcharge over VOS back in 2011).
It is in exceptional condition (mint), with barely any signs of use/wear at all). Frets show no wear.
Completely stock (it did have other pickups at one time, but Burstbuckers 1 & 2 are back on). Includes OHSC, COA, checklist and case candy.
A true lightweight Les Paul with heavyweight tone and looks!

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.
