Gibson Les Paul 59 Collectors Choice CC#13 "Spoonful Burst" (2013)

Limited to just 300 specimens, the “Spoonful Burst” is one of the most sought-after Collectors Choice guitars ever. And one look at this CC#13 should be enough to understand that. The very best aging, super authentic and a fantastic look with the finest woods, the best workmanship and a phenomenal sound. The “Spoonful Burst” is a faithful replica of the 1959 Les Paul with the serial number 9-1352, originally purchased in Florida and later played by John Sebastian, the guitarist of the “Lovin' Spoonful”, on numerous tours and studio recordings. Since 1993 it has been in the possession of Gordon Kennedy, a guitarist and collector from Nashville, TN. This CC#13 immediately impresses with its beautiful “Faded Dirty Lemon Burst” color. In contrast to most other Collectors Choice guitars its neck is a little grippier, almost a '58 profile, but by no means too fat or globby thanks to the rounded shoulders. Two perfectly balanced Custombucker pickups (Alnico II and III) were used on the “Spoonful Burst”, which deliver a top sound, warm, bluesy and transparent as required, but also wonderfully smacky and biting with distortion. Extremely versatile, this Les Paul feels at home in any style of music. Of course Collectors Choice guitars always offer great value retention. But the fact that you also get a beautiful player with the highest fun factor makes the “Spoonful Burst” all the more interesting. We are delighted to be able to offer you this fantastic Paula in top condition.
