2003 Gibson Les Paul 1959 Reissue Brazilian

SOLD

You probably already know all about this run and how collectable these R9's are. But their final collectability resides basically in the quality of the top (apart from condition, of course). And you can see how good this one is: amazing flame, very tridimensional, lots and lots of chatoyance, definitely one of the best you'll see from this run, where tops were generally a little weak (unlike many 90's R9s)

Take a look at the video to see the 3D flame that covers all the top. The red color is way off because of the camera's sensor (check photos for better color representation), but you can certainly enjoy the flame. Make sure you toggle the 720p option and view in full screen.

Long story short, you'll be hard pressed to find another '03 Braz R9 that looks this good. Oh, and it's dead mint, so it can go right on stage or straight to your glass vault, your call. Did we mention the super low serial? 

Includes Lifton OHSC (not the black one, the brown Lifton was an extra that year), all accessories, case candy, checklist and COA.

You all know how collectable these are, especially with a great top like this one, which is a rare find.
