Gibson Les Paul 59 CC26 "Whitford Burst" Aged (2015)
Brad Whitford was essential to the band's commercial breakthrough in the early '70s as Aerosmith's rhythm guitarist and Joe Perry's sidekick. And even then he was accompanied by his beloved 1959 Gibson Les Paul. As part of the "Collectors Choice" series launched by Gibson Custom Shop in 2010 an exact replica of this guitar was released in 2014 in a limited edition of 300. We are happy to offer you #157 here whose color tone and aging are really super authentically hit and whose top with its clear but not excessive grain is a real feast for the eyes. Numerous hairline cracks, as well as dings and dongs in just the right places. Great grained with wide bars that look different from every angle. Thanks to the Medium-59 neck profile with rounded shoulders it plays like a clockwork and also soundwise it can fully convince. Even when played dry it sounds very resonant and the two specially wound Custombuckers, which are based on the values of the original Whitford Burst, provide plenty of poundage to the amp. Despite all the sustain and fullness of sound the guitar always remains snappy, transparent and percussive. Here you really get a great Collectors Choice with best value retention, which convinces both visually and sonically all along the line - a dream Paula for eye and ear, which we can offer you in top condition.
