Gibson / Les Paul 1959 VOS Historic Reissue / 2013 / Lemon Burst / Guitar
|
2013 has been one of the most relevant years in the history of the Gibson Custom Shop. The series of changes applied in all '13 Historics have made them the most precise reissues ever made by the company.
We're talking about a one-piece fretboard, no-sleeve truss rod, aniline dye, hide glue neck set, improved binding color (more vintage looking), new Kluson tuners, stock Custom Buckers and real celluloid inlays. What a year!
Apart from that, we here have an outstanding, breathtaking top...! Killer! Perfectly balanced with an 8lbs 12oz weight and incredible resonance. We were amazed when we tested the everlasting sustain, wow! Tone-wise, the main difference with previous reissues is the clarity of the notes: cristal-clear, not nearly as dark either. Tone and Volume control knobs really respond to every variation, offering a nearly-infinite tone palette.
Enjoy the great Lemonburst color from this year... outstanding.
In an almost new condition, very well looked after, and hardly played at all and very little playwear (NO fretwear, and only two very small dings in the lower back, hard to spot -check photo-). Includes all case candy, COA, and original 2013 Lifton Case.
This is one of the good ones, folks. You don't see such a fine R9 as this everyday, much less with a killer top like this one.

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.
