Thanks

1959 Les Paul Factory BurstDevoted fans of late '50s Les Pauls understand the subtle ways in which these guitars' woods, carves and finishes can vary, and love them all the more for their fascinating differences. The '59 Les Paul Factory Burst from Gibson Custom captures the essence of a few of the Custom Shop's favorite examples of original '59 Bursts, recreated in loving detail and presented in two exclusive VOS finishes, in a strictly limited run of 200 guitars (100 per finish)....
.
In short, the '59 Les Paul Factory Burst is the finest recreation available of a rare and unique original, and each of the strictly limited 200 guitars represents the unique beauty of the Burst in all its glory.
.
The '59 Les Paul Factory Burst takes its visual splendor right through to superlative tone via two different pairs of reproduction PAF pickups, selected by the Gibson Custom Shop to represent the variations in original Les Pauls. The guitars finished in Factory Cherry Burst carry '57 Classics with zebra coils under VOS-aged nickel covers, while the Factory Dark Burst guitars have Custom Buckers with VOS-aged nickel covers.

And so castles made of sand melts into the sea, eventually.........
