Description
The latest additon to the Collector's Choice range is a precise, True Historic spec'd replica of Scott Bradoka's own 1959 Les Paul.
Scott worked closely with the craftspeople of Gibson Custom, allowing hands-on study and laser-scanning of every curve and angle of this very amazing original 'Burst.
With Scott's final approval to bless the run, we're now pleased to offer a few more players and collectors the opportunity to experience the same joy as Scott does every time he picks up "Kathryn", original serial number 9 2023.
Known as - "Goldfinger" among collectors, Charles Daughtry's original 1957 Goldtop #7 3308 is as recognized for its tone as it is easily identifiable by its trademark finger wear around its cutaway.
Collector's Choicee #36 is the first Standard Historic Spec in the series for 2016 and is handcrafted based on digital analysis of the original as well as collaboration with its owner.
To pick up one of the Limited Run guitars and play it is to experience the tone, look and feel of #7 3308 just as Charles has since adding it to his collection.
You'll find CC#36 to be one of the most gorgeous sounding, excellent feeling and character-rich Les Pauls we've ever crafted.
