2018 Gibson Les Paul Standard 1959 Reissue (1959 reissue) Royal Teaburst
No sales tax for customers outside California.
In 2018 Wildwood Guitars commissioned a special run of 1959 Reissue Les Paul Standards. This guitar was part of this limited offering.
Tom Murphy is one of the preeminent guitar restoration professionals on the planet. I've seen his work on vintage guitars, one in particular that he did for a close friend - a mid-60s ES-335 in an amazing Pelham Blue finish back in the early 2000s. The guitar was a basket case to begin with and turned out to be spectacular. His work for Gibson is now mainstream with the advent of the Murphy Lab.
This particular example is an absolutely gorgeous piece, from the top, to the stunning mahogany back, the neck and the Brazilian fretboard. The guitar is lightly aged with authentic looking checking.
The neck is perfect with nearly zero wear on the frets. There are no changes to the guitar, no issues, just perfection. We even checked the truss rod to make sure there is room for future neck relief adjustments.
The pickups sound brilliant. A friend and customer was playing it today through a 50 watt Marshall head and 70s 4x12 cab. It killed!
All the paperwork and goodies are included in the original case.
