Gibson / 1959 Les Paul VOS Collector's Choice CC#1 Melvyn Franks / Peter Green / Gary Moore / 2010 / Melvyn Franks Butterscotch Burst / Guitar

LIMITED TIME OFFER!

One of the most sought after Collector's Choice Les Pauls, this CC#1 Melvyn Franks/Peter Green/Gary Moore in VOS finish has one of the best tops we've ever seen in this run. Almost impossible to find today, even less with a top like this one!



THE Collector's that began everything, and probably the most collectable one of all. You all know how hard it is to find one these days at reasonable prices, especially if you're looking for an awesome top. So this is your chance (über top included)!


Amazing rosewood fretboard, so dark it almost looks like ebony, with slight hints of red!


The guitar's condition is great (Excellent - ), but it is not mint. It has been played very slightly, NO chips. It does have a few dings here and there (the biggest one is on the "book", see photo). There is some very slight worming on the back (NOT through the finish). Frets still have plenty of life left, but there is definitely evidence of playwear. They haven't been levelled so you might get them back almost perfect if you do. However, it does not affect tone at all, this guitar was owned by a studio musician so it is setup to play well.


Included is an Area 59 pickguard (not pictured). The case is a Gibson Custom Art & Historic previous to the Gibson Custom these had from factory (easy to find). Original Burstbucker pickups are back on, and caps have been changed for Luxe Bumblebees. Includes COA, tags, case candy. Checklist IS included, but we forgot to include in the pictures.


This is a great chance to get your hands on a truly amazing example of this sought after Collector's Choice. You definitely don't see them every day, especially at this price and with such a great top. Don't let this one get away!!

In the last few years, online sale for musical instruments has experienced an amazing growth, but has passed right through the pre-owned market (that is, in Spain), limiting it to specialised forums and private owners. This is why Guitar Giraffe was born, the first physical and online second hand guitar and amp store (we like to call it "pre-owned", since we see a big difference between both terms), with a clear commitment of giving new options to guitarists locally and worldwide. Pre-owned guitar stores, so common in UK and USA, were practically nonexistent in Spain. We’ve wanted to fill that empty space by becoming the first physical and online store in our country focused on pre-owned guitars and amps.
