Le Paul Guitar Auction: 2001 Gibson Custom 1960 Reissue Les Paul Lemon Burst

Les Paul Guitars Auction Description: 2001Gibson Custom, Art & Historic 1960 Les Paul Reissue For all of you who have followed the evolution of the legendary Les Paul and for those of you who have searched for the Holy Grail... Put down your sword and pick up your axe! In the early 80's, Gibson saw the demand for Vintage Les Paul's rising and responded with the first reissues known as the pre-Historics. However, it was not until 1993 that the Historic Collection was introduced. Models included the '54 Black Beauty, '56 Goldtop, '57 Custom Black Beauty, '57 Goldtop, '59 Flametop and the 1960 Flametop Reissue. The 1960 Reissues are the rarest of the Historic series Les Paul's. Identical to the 1959 Reissue except the 1960 Reissue has the slim tapered fast action neck. In 1997 Gibson upgraded to a AAAAA Eastern Maple Top. This kind of wood extremely rare and highly sought after as the perfect tone wood. In 2000 the Lemon Burst was introduced. Gibson officially discontinued this model in 2000, but built and shipped a few near the end of 2001. R9 production was limited to 500 units in the US, 1000 worldwide due to "parts constraints". The 1960 Reissue was built in far fewer numbers. In 2001 a limited number of guitars also had Brazilian Rosewood fretboards. This 2001 Gibson Historic collection 1960 Les Paul Reissue is one of the very few that were built in late 2001. It is extremely rare and beautiful. It has the Lemon Burst finish and an awesome FLAME MAPLE TOP. It's this kind of raw wood, "the good wood" that captured the mojo of the legendary Les Paul Standard! Found in less than 1 in 1,000 trees, this kind of Flame Maple is very hard in texture and reflective, capturing stress between the flames of grain and producing a loud, powerful projective sound. For the true Les Paul warrior, it's all about that FLAME and that warm woody TONE! You may search for a lifetime, but you will not find another Flame Maple top like this one! KILLER, 3D, BOLD AND BEAUTIFUL, not a dead spot anywhere! This is a beautiful guitar, the perfect color with a dark, dense fretboard and a KILLER TOP! This guitar is a work of art and, weighing in at 8 lbs 9 ozs, this guitar is very light and resonate. The pickups are the original 57 Classics and it doesn't get any better than that! This beast really ROARS with plenty of soul and the purest, warmest and deepest LP GROWL! This guitar is a players dream and a collectors prize. It comes complete with the original hardshell case. The frets have been dressed and polished and the action is set low and with the slim profile neck - You will love this guitar and you'll play better than ever before! This guitar is in near mint condition, upgraded with Hoveland caps, everything else original. It looks like mint to me, but I'm calling it near mint just to be safe.
