Gibson Les Paul Custom Shop R9 VOS 1959 Reissue Lemon Burst Select Top, Upgrades

A lovely Les Paul with absolutely stunning flame maple top and upgrades.

This guitar was made in 2014 and features a ‘select top’ definitely one of the best you will see!

It has Gibson Custom Buckers installed (as per original) along with Tonepros aged bridge parts. A bone nut has also been fitted.

The guitar plays fantastically as you would expect for an instrument of this quality.

The guitar is currently strung 11 – 52 for a big blues/ rock sound.

The guitar has been played but is in generally very good condition. There is a small area of buckle rash to the rear (see picture) but nothing through the surface. There are some minor marks to the headstock. There is some typical bleeding of the dye into the binding.

Comes complete with original case and documentation.

Viewing and collection are welcome.

Looking for £2975.

It is a beauty but I own two R9's and one needs to go!

    The guitar plays fantastically as you would expect for an instrument of this quality. The mules are generally accepted to be one of the best ‘paf’ pickups available.

    Beautiful guitar that! Just querying the ‘mules’ mention, does it have BKP pickups or the Gibson CBs? Also, there’s a reddish area on the edge of the top on the bass side of the lower bout, just wondering if that’s bleed from the back colour or part of the faded burst applied by Gibson? Cheers.

    Ahh yes sorry! It was a friends guitar who fitted BK Mules to it. Since then it's been changed back to the Gibson Custom Buckers.

    The bleed has only gone into the binding, the bass side lower bout part is as applied by Gibson from factory.
