Used Gibson Custom Shop Historic 1959 Les Paul Reissue Dave Johnson Aged Gibson

Joe Perry style Faded Tobacco Sunburst Finish!

Used electric guitar! Just in on trade!

Just in on trade from Keith Nelson of the band Buckcherry. Keith is an avid collector of premium gear and knows how to choose a good electric guitar. This Gibson Custom Shop 1959 Les Paul Reissue is no exception. It is a 2007 model that Keith personally picked for tone and looks based on it’s similarity to Duane Allman’s flame top Les Paul. It was then sent to Dave Johnson (formerly of HIstoric Makeovers) who refinished and hand-aged the guitar with a more authentic Faded Tobacco Sunburst finish (based on the famed Joe Perry Burst) and period correct paint, dyes, top carve, etc… It was used on several Buckcherry tours and recordings, and has been around the word before I took it on trade as part of a multi guitar deal. I believe that the pickups have been changed to WCR or something similar- Sorry but I do not know specifically other than they are absolutely fantastic sounding. This guitar is light, loud and lively. Extremely resonant acoustically and increidbly responsive when plugged in. IT SOUNDS FANTASTIC! The top also has deep, strong, 3 Dimensional “Seagull Flame” figure throughout. Like all our used / vintage gear it has been tested for funcitonality and priced to move. Sold as-is. What you see is what you get. Les Pauls don’t get much better than this. If you are looking for a serious tone machine then look no further.

Dave Johnson is highly regarded as one of the premier experts in guitar restorations and upgrades to more authentic vintage “Burst” specs. This guitar gives you the true look, tone and feel of an actual vintage Gibson Les Paul for a fraction of the price. Dave Johnson guitars have proven themselves to be highly collectable and hard to find invenstment grade instruments.
