GIBSON CUSTOM SHOP 60TH ANNIVERSARY 1959 LES PAUL STANDARD REISSUE MADE 2 MEASURE BOTB PG 94 BURST VOS

Our annual(-ish) trip to the Gibson Custom Shop in Nashville was our best yet!  It's always an honour and pleasure to pick out some guitars and to select wood for future Made 2 Measure builds!  We found some incredible tops and are thrilled with how they came out!

It starts out with the timeless 60th Anniversary 1959 Les Paul Reissue.  We opted for lightweight mahogany. The guitar is at 8.99 pounds.  

We spent hours sorting through maple tops to find this one.  We had only planned on 3 builds, but with some extra time to kill, we discovered this top at the bottom of a huge pile of blanks.  What a score!  Unbelievable 3d movement as you turn it in the light.   Huge floaty flame in spots, with subtle tight lines throughout.  

We knew instantly we had to go with our fave Les Paul finish on this one, found on Page 94 of the famous Beauty of the Burst book.   

The guitar features Alnico 3 Custombuckers in both positions.  Another little touch we like is Zebra coil pickups.  These are Zebra under the nickel covers so you can choose to leave the covers on or expose one or both for that 'modded' look players like Jimmy Page loved so much. 

We couldn't be happier with this M2M beauty!
