Gibson Custom Collector's Choice 1959 Reissue Les Paul "Rosie" Electric Guitar Sunburst

A glorious recreation of a rare guitar in all its splendour.










The Collector's Choice '59 Les Paul Series makes
it possible to own a recreation of a specific guitar from the few Les
Paul standards created in 1959. Once again working with a specific '59
and its owner allowed Gibson Custom full access so that it could be
analyzed, digitally scanned and measured from every conceivable
perspective. Now Gibson Custom can faithfully recreate the individual
personality of a specific serial number of '59, bringing its magic
within reach of a limited number of owners. The details of finish,
material, wear and tone in the Collector's Choice range are as near to a
perfect re-creation of each guitar's current condition as is humanly
possible.


Gibson Custom is proud to announce the sales launch of Collector's Choice #11, original serial #9-0925 aka "Rosie."


"She's
pristine—one of the only '59's I've seen that has the prototypical dark
cherry sunburst from the latter part of 1959, with very little fade.
She also has that quintessential 'burst tone that I've looked for all of
my life." - Comments on the original "Rosie" from her current owner, an
anonymous collector.


As rare as a 1959 Les Paul is, even rarer
are those that have passed from their original owner to only one other.
When Gibson first saw "Rosie." they were amazed by her pristine
condition. She's obviously seen very little sunlight in her time, which
is apparent from the dark cherry finish, the precise character of which
many would call "the burst." While some examples from earlier in 1959
have a more raspberry tinge and others a lighter cherry, "Rosie"
represents the deeper, richer color that became the standard. She also
has very little wear, with only minor checking and few, if any,
noticeable dings.


Among her distinct and individual
specifications is her neck shape: a late '50s "soft V" that has been
scanned and duplicated to be an exact match to the original. Rosie's
top-carve, as well as every critical angle and curve has been studied
and replicated in great detail. To match that "quintessential" tone, two
custom-wound Custom Bucker pickups were designed, engineered and built
based on testing of the originals.


As with all 2013 Gibson Custom
reissues, Rosie features a hot hide glued neck joint, historically
accurate truss rod assembly, aniline dye on her back and sides, accurate
binding color and a single-layer, Indian rosewood fingerboard. Add a
lightweight aluminum tailpiece alongside a complete package of
historically accurate trim and hardware and the details unfold to form a
guitar that's as close to the original as is humanly possible to craft.


Gibson
Custom captures all of the aesthetic glory and tone of this exceptional
guitar in a very limited run of up to 300, hand-aged and meticulously
crafted instruments.
