Gibson Custom Shop Collectors Choice #39 Andrew Raymond 1959 Les Paul - Minnesota Burst

Now owned by Andrew Raymond of the UK, it remains a well cared for and exceptional guitar with much of it's original color intact, very little wear and a top that exemplifies the word "flame"; deep moving, pronounced and consistent from side to side. For as much as Minnesota Burst is a visual marvel, its tone and feel are as archetypically "Les Paul" as any the Gibson Custom Shop has had the chance to hold, study and recreate.
