This beautiful Les Paul is truly a masterpiece! For the 20th anniversary of the Historic Reissue series Edwin Wilson and Tom Murphy collaborated to build the most accurate '59 reissue to date. Tom Murphy used only the best, hand-selected tops and painted all guitars in a historically accurate sunburst with special nitro lacquer, just like the first 25 1993 reissues, which he had also painted himself at the time. Only 100 specimens of this series were built. All long since sold out and now extremely sought after collector's items. Of course all of them already have the coveted 2013 specs. So, this Paula is not only visually a highlite but also sonically Les Paul at it's best! Fantastic neck with the exact, original '59 shaping, not too thick, just feels great in the hand. Great tone and sustain without end. Resonant and very open sound. The Custombuckers really do an excellent job here. The ultimate Les Paul for every collector and player! The guitar is in mint condition including the frets. And the fact that Tom Murphy has personally signed the electronics compartment only increases the rarity value of this dream Paula even more.
