2014 Gibson Historic 1959/R9 Les Paul, Cherry Sunburst VOS, , Near Mint!

This is a 2014 Gibson Historic 1959/R9 Les Paul, Cherry Sunburst VOS with a Beautiful Figured Top. Includes all tags, paperwork, and OHSC. Even though this guitar is pre-owned, it’s as close to a new guitar as you will find. It has 3 tiny dings on the back only – otherwise this guitar looks, feels, and plays like new.

I like a lot of Red in a Les Paul Sunburst, and this one’s got it. Cherry Sunburst is my favorite color in a Les Paul. And the flametop is gorgeous on this one!

1979 Gibson Les Paul Custom, Wine Red, 100% Original with OHSC, EXC Condition!

This is a 1979 Gibson Les Paul Custom, Wine Red finish, Gold Hardware, Ebony fretboard. This was the 25th guitar made in the Kalamazoo, MI plant on September 14, 1979. The neck is on the slim side, with 1st fret/.82 and 12th fret/.95. The pickups are balanced with neck/7.67K and bridge/7.73K. The weight is on the lighter side for a 70s all-mahogany Custom: around 10 lbs on a bathroom scale. I’ve seen 70s customs heavier than 11 lbs! The headstock is marked “SECOND” on the back, which is usually a mystery stamp found on many really good older Gibsons based on my experience.

1957 Gibson Les Paul Goldtop with OHSC, Very Rare!

Early 1957 Goldtop – formerly owned by Cesar Rosas of Los Lobos. One of a very small group of Left Handed Stop Tail Les Pauls from the 1950s.

Thanks to Scott Jennings for reminiscing about this great guitar. I remember when Scott had it for sale in Vintage Guitar Magazine in the early 90s at Route 66 Guitars; somehow I knew I would end up with this guitar some 25 years later – it was worth the wait!
