I'm selling a stunning Gibson Les Paul 1959 VOS reissue from 2008.. complete with that gorgeous iconic, brown with pink flush interior case, hang tags, case key and the little certificate book.

In fantastic, lightly used condition. Has the usual "buckle rash" on the back.. nothing severe, and a few little sings of use on the top.. again, this stuff is only noticeable under certain light.. not anything particularly noticeable at all!

Beautiful flame.. just the right amount. Set up to perfection and plays like a dream, so easy to zip around on the thing. Gorgeous dark rosewood board (looks lighter in the photos than it is in reality). It has the highly sought after 59' neck profile.. beautifully rounded and comfortable to play. Tuning stability and sustain is just incredible on this thing too.

It's also right where you want a Les Paul to be weight-wise, not too heavy at all at just.. 8.7lbs!

Selling to fund a big vintage purchase and as is my usual M.O.. it's a case of last one in, first one out. I've owned this for a few months and it's been a joy to play, but I'm a jazz and country guy deep down so as I continue to reach for my archtop or tele first, this beautiful Les Paul has not seen as much action as it deserves.

Gigged it once back in May, but aside from that it hasn't left the house.

I've put a few videos up of it on my instagram if you want to see and hear it in action..

I'm looking for a quick sale on this one, so pricing it at the lowest end of it's worth at just £4,000 collected from Nottingham.  Absolutely no trades .. just a sale. I'm prepared to drive up to an hour to meet somewhere if required.

Pics below are a mixture of my photos, and ones that were taken by the shop I bought it from back in May.

Thanks,
Alex
