Don't believe in magic? The Gibson Custom Collector's Choice #13 Gordon Kennedy 1959 Les Paul limited edition solidbody electric guitar just might change your mind. This Collector's Choice guitar is a re-creation of a '59 Les Paul originally owned by John Sebastian of The Lovin' Spoonful. From the faded finish to the CustomBucker pickups to the accurate finish reproduction, Collector's Choice #13 is a guitar full of vintage vibe and tone. With only 300 available worldwide, don't miss your chance to own an amazingly playable and unique guitar - the Gibson Collector's Choice #13 Gordon Kennedy 1959 Les Paul.
Not created after just any old Les Paul, the Gibson Custom Collector's Choice #13 Gordon Kennedy 1959 Les Paul was originally owned and used by music-legend John Sebastian. He used the original on hits such as hits like "Do You Believe in Magic?" and "Nashville Cats"! Each guitar of this limited Collector's Choice run includes a copy of a hand-written letter from John Sebastian detailing the history of the original guitar. The guitar is currently owned by Nashville-legend and Grammy Award winner Gordon Kennedy.
Gibson Custom analyzed the sound of the original PAF humbucking pickups and re-created that vibe with a pair of CustomBucker humbuckers. These pickups use period-correct wire and a precise number of turns to create the tone we all know and love. You'll love the tight low end, complex midrange, and sweet highs you'll get out of the CustomBucker pickups - it's everything you expect when you pick up a Les Paul!
Gibson's Custom Shop took extra care with every detail of the Collector's Choice #13 Gordon Kennedy 1959 Les Paul. Every Gibson Custom guitar receives an ultra-precise Plek Pro setup for optimized playability. The fretboard and nut have an incredibly accurate intonation and a "just right" feel. And little touches, like the plain maple top and the accurately-aged hardware remain true to the original 1959 Les Paul Standard that Collector's Choice #13 pays homage to.
