Gibson Les Paul Custom Shop Collectors Choice #26 Whitford Burst 1959 /R9 with Upgrades

Beano

Gibson Les Paul Custom Shop Collectors Choice #26 Whitford Burst with Upgrades. Amazing replica of Brad Whitfords 1959 Les Paul. Bought new by myself from Anderton’s in June 2014. Had a choice of 4 CC models ( Redeye, Louis and another Whitford ) but this one was 100% love at first sight. It played and felt absolutely spot on. Beautiful 3D flame and grain on the maple top , weighs dead on 9lbs on my digital scales. Amazing dark rosewood fretboard that looks just like the original Brazilian boards used back in the day. Incredible relic job on this also. I have upgraded the pickups to OX4 low winds ( double creams ) and put a set of vintage correct shape Montreaux Time Machine PAF covers on them . Also has real buyturite bone coloured pickup rings and vintage style true taper ( VTT ) pots from Crazy Parts in Germany. NOS vintage Russian military 0.022uF paper in oil caps have also been installed. I do not have the original parts that I took out for the upgrades ( except the plastic pickup surrounds ). These were all sold on to offset the cost of upgrading the original parts. Comes with original case,case candy and original shipping carton.

Located near Cardiff for pick up / collection. 

Would like £4750 ovno for this.

Cheers buddy, will be sorry to see it go but it’s just sitting in it’s case under the bed unplayed nowadays, and there’s always other things to spend money on , especially when you’ve just moved into a new house

I thought I'd do my good deed for the day and embed some of the photos for the OP as it's too lush to hide behind a linky:

Beano

Thanks Mctoot, couldn’t figure out how to do that myself I’m afraid . Plenty more pics in the original link also guys :-)
