Gibson Les Paul 60 Collectors Choice CC#3 "The Babe" Aged (2012)
Gibson Les Paul 60 Collectors Choice CC#3 "The Babe" Aged (2012)
Number 3 in the legendary Collectors Choice series, limited to 300 specimens worldwide! The Babe is the exact replica of Joe Bonamassa's Bigsby Les Paul. Although it is actually a 1960 reissue it has a typical 59 neck profile, so no ultra-thin Slim Taper. It's super pleasant and comfortable to flit across the fretboard here. The aging is rather discreet according to the original. Only a few subtle dings and dongs show up here on the partly matte sunburst finish. The present "Babe" immediately captivates with its beautiful color gradient from yellow-orange to deep red at the edges. For a Les Paul with Bigsby vibrato it also has an extremely pleasant weight of only 4295 grams. Apart from the great look, to which the Bigsby of course also contributes, this vibrato kit gives the player yet another way to influence the guitar's sound, which Keith Richards already appreciated in the early 60s. And the sound of this Paula can fully convince anyway. Fat tone, endless sustain, pearly clean sounds, distorted wonderfully smacking. Whether Rock, Jazz or Blues - this Les Paul feels at home everywhere! If you like fat yet differentiated sounds, this is the one for you. One of the few Bigsby Collector's Choice guitars which you should not miss already because of its high rarity value. We are happy to offer you this very special Les Paul in absolute collector's condition.
