The CC #9 "Believer Burst", limited to only 100 specimens, has always been for me one of the absolute highlights of the Collectors Choice series! These guitars are not only visually, but also sonically the absolute killer! The legendary Burst with the serial number 9-0850 from Vic DaPra served as the basis for the CC #9. It is considered one of the most beautiful Les Pauls ever built by Gibson. It is not for nothing that DaPra's book series, which gives a sufficient overview of the original Les Pauls known today, bears the name of this fascinating guitar. And so this "Believer Burst" at hand with serial number 072 is also an absolute dream: great grained top that looks different from every angle, perfect aging and also fantastically hit in terms of color. The whole thing is only surpassed by the tone of this gem. When playing dry you don't miss any amp at first. The guitar vibrates great and is really loud when dry. Even unamplified you can hear that the guitar is beautifully differentiated with a wonderfully wide frequency spectrum. At the amp it then unfolds an absolute top tone: clear, open and fresh. The custom-wound Custombuckers fit the guitar perfectly. It sings and smacks that it is a real pleasure. With the typical "Late 50s" neck and a dream weight of 3880 grams it is also wonderful to play. Incredible player with a killer look, as well as highest rarity and collector value, which of course guarantees the very best value retention. Especially because due to Gibson's extremely high demands on the top of the CC#9 not even the complete number of specimens could be built. So, if you're looking for the ultimate Les Paul, where everything is just right, you've come to the right place!
