Gibson 2013 Les Paul 1959 Reissue VOS Sunrise Tea Burst

Sold

2013 has been one of the most relevant years in the history of the Gibson Custom Shop. The series of changes applied in all '13 Historics made them more historically correct than any previous years' Reissues.

We're talking about a one-piece fretboard, no-sleeve truss rod, aniline dye, hide glue neck set, improved binding color (more vintage looking), new Kluson tuners, stock Custom Buckers and real celluloid inlays. What a year!

Exceptional AAAAA top, very tridimensional. Incredibly light (8lbs 4.9oz) and very well balanced, with huge sustain. As we've said for all other 2013 Gibsons we previously had, the volume & tone controls respond to every little variation, giving you a huge tonal range. Notes are crystal-clear, without that dark feel from many other pre-2013 R9's.

Incredible condition, no fret wear, practically like-new. It only has one small ding on the edge of the selector backplate (see pictures), that's it.  It even smells like fresh out of the store. No mods, no repairs, all stock.

It has no pickguard installed (NO holes either), something Gibson saves for the best tops only. Sunset Tea Burst color, a beautiful variation of the classic Iced Tea. A great guitar from a great year, now's your chance, folks!
