2012 GIBSON PAUL KOSSOFF LES PAUL 1959 REISSUE VOS

From my Custom Shop collection: "Mint" and rarely played Limited Edition Gibson Custom Shop 2012 Paul Kossoff Les Paul 1959 Reissue VOS. This guitar is part of a long time sold out limited run of 250 guitars. It's a replica of Paul Kossoffs famous 1959 Les Paul and it's got an oustanding looking flametop! The 2 Gibson Custombuckers were especially made for this model based on measurements taken from the original PAFs. Although it's got the heavier Grover tuners it weights only 3.85Kg! Its got a very authentic feel and tone. The guitar comes with the photograph COA and original hardshell case. with Kossoff signature on lid.  Many photographs available on request, just let me have an email address please.

Selling for £4350 with collection from near York or Northumberland/Newcastle

I am primarily a bass player hence guitar is virtually unplayed.

This thread needs at least a picture! 

I know we’re not supposed to comment on price, but that does seem very reasonable considering what else seems to be available these days. Good luck with the sale.

You’ll have to post pics or a link to pics here or Mods will remove the post

There’s no way you can list a guitar that cool without some awesome pics. Agree with ozzy. This won’t be here long at that price. Gibson collectors pay daft money for stuff like this

Want to see it! Paul Kossoff is in a class of his own.

Yes, sounds like a bargain.

I played with a drummer who was a massive Kossoff fan and he had one of these, and loved near York. It's not you is it?

Withdrawn already?

Withdraw is probably what I would have done too after a look around at the market. Richard Henry recently commented on a CC #1 (Greeny) that had sold in a shop a few months ago for in excess of £30k. Bonkers!

Reviewing my options, watch this space for relisting with photographs, sincere apologies for the original and not adhering to the rules (I am a bass player remember !!!!!)

Be careful you don't sell it too cheap. There are flippers who'll have it on Reverb for twice the price before they even have it in their hands.

I’m guessing this is it as the description is pretty much the same. https://guitarpoint.de/en/product/2012-gibson-paul-kossoff-les-paul-1959-reissue-vos/

After much deliberation and the reaction of many this is now permanently staying with me, thanks for all the interest.

Hope you’re well @johnbiffa? Saw this thread and just had to say I think you’ve made an excellent decision on the Kossoff LP’s future.
