[FS] INSANE TOP! 2022 Gibson Custom Shop Les Paul Standard 1959 Reissue R9 Iced Tea

[hellzington]

For sale is an amazing Les Paul. The Holy Grail of holy grail Les Pauls. The best of the best from the Gibson Custom Shop with a hand-picked, one-of-a-kind AAAA flame maple top. This 1959 Reissue "R9" will take your breath away.

This guitar is basically in mint condition, but it has been played a bit so I am conservatively grading it as "Excellent." I can only find one very tiny, microscopic mark in the finish that is impossible to photograph. If you want close ups of something, just ask. I'm happy to provide whatever pictures you want.

There are two modifications to this guitar:

• The vintage tuners have been replaced with top-of-the-line Kluson vintage locking tuners. From the front, these tuners are totally indistinguishable from the Gibson vintage ones. The original tuners are included in the sale.
• The bridge Custombucker has been swapped out for an Arcane XIII pickup. It's Alnico V 13.5k ohms output that is smooth and powerful. It compliments the stock Custombucker in the neck very well. It's not overpowering, just gives the bridge a punch that matches the punchiness of the neck pickup. The original Custombucker is included in the sale if you want to change it back.

Otherwise, this guitar is dead stock and all the specs are exactly what you would expect from a '59 Les Paul Reissue. The legendary '59 C neck carve, super dark rosewood fretboard, ABR-1 bridge, and CTS pots with Bumblebee caps.

WEIGHT: 8lb 6oz on my kitchen scale.

This is it, my friends: the Les Paul to end all Les Pauls. Buy this guitar and your search is over!
