1959 Gibson Les Paul - Louis

BMVG's is pleased to offer this legendary 1959 Burst to the public for the first time in its history.
 
Formerly owned by renowned guitarist Keith Nelson this 1959 Gibson Les Paul Standard simply known as "Louis" was enshrined by the Gibson Custom shop during their Collectors Choice Series #17.
 
The sonic capabilities of this particular instrument can be heard on many records, to say that this is a "good one" is an understatement. Firmly in the 1959 sweet spot this Burst features a powerful and articulate set of double white PAF's. Louis is perfectly balanced at 9 lbs and offers a wonderful full neck profile (.88 -.96).
 
This Burst has seen stages all over the world and displays the type of enthralling patina that make us weak in the knees and guitar makers attempt to emulate today.
