A stunning instrument to last and pass on for generations to come. Use it and love it and it'll reward you many times over. New kitchen or a new Les Paul?, give me the Gibson any day.....

This amazing, rare guitar is the latest in the Gibson Collectors Choice series #11 - A 1959 Les Paul Standard affectionately called "Rosie" which not only introduces the most pristine reproduction yet in the series, but also represents perhaps the best-preserved vintage Les Paul that the team at the Gibson Custom Shop workshop has ever encountered.

While all Les Pauls made between 1958 and 1960 are exceedingly rare, finding one in such stunningly original condition in the hands of only its second owner is simply a breathtaking experience. In addition to her lineage, "Rosie" has obviously seen very little sunlight in her time, and fully retains her original and unfaded Dark Cherry Sunburst finish like few other vintage Les Pauls. As her current owner, an anonymous collector, puts it: "She's pristine ... - one of the only '59s I've seen that has the proto-typical Dark Cherry Sunburst from the latter part of 1959, with very little fade. She also has that quintessential 'burst tone that I've looked for all my life."

While some examples from earlier in 1959 have more of a Raspberry tinge and others a lighter Cherry hue, "Rosie" represents the deeper, richer colour that became the standard and which is historically authentic to that period. She also has very little wear, with only minor checking and few, if any, noticeable dings.

Through intimate and painstaking study of the original guitar, and with the full co-operation of her current owner, the Gibson Custom workshop team has crafted Collector's Choice #11 1959 Les Paul "Rosie" as an uncompromising recreation of this incredible guitar. Among the distinct and individual details included are her neck shape, a late 1950s "soft V" that has been scanned and duplicated for an exact match, Rosie's precise top carve, along with pain-staking renditions of every critical angle and curve, and a pair of custom-wound Custom Bucker PAF pick-up reproductions designed, engineered, and built based on extensive testing of the originals, to capture that essential 'burst tone. It all comes together in a guitar that presents a rare and unmissable opportunity for the Les Paul collector, and will be produced only in a very limited run of up to 300 hand-aged and meticulously crafted instruments for world-wide distribition.

In addition to capturing the full aesthetic and sonic glory of this pristine Gibson Les Paul, "Rosie," like all 2013 Gibson Custom re-issues, also features Gibson Custom's 20th Anniversary Historic Specifications, which bring the Custom Shop reproductions closer to the real thing than ever before. These specifications, introduced for 2013, include a single-layer Rosewood fretboard, hot hide glue neck joint, accurate fretboard and body binding colour, historically accurate truss rod assembly, and genuine Aniline red dye for the guitar's back, neck, and sides. Further period-correct details are found in the neck's nylon 6/6 nut, Holly headstock face with Pearl Gibson logo, re-issue Kluson Deluxe green-key single-band machine heads, an ABR-1 Tune-o-Matic bridge with lightweight aluminium stopbar tailpiece, reproduction Bumble Bee tone caps, and more. For player's and collector's seeking the look, feel, and tone of an exceptional original 1959 Les Paul Standard, these details help to make Collector's Choice #11 1959 Les Paul "Rosie" an unparalleled opportunity.
