Gibson:les Paul Collectors Choice The Babe 1960 , New, Cherry Tea Burst Electric Guitar - Indonesia

The Details

The pots of the original date their manufacture to the 38th week of 1958, the

neck is within the specifications of a 1959 and the Cherry Tea Burst could

have belonged to either a 1959 or 1960 model.

Her original owner recalls that,

when he ordered the guitar, he was asked whether he preferred the burst

be 'more red' or 'more orange'.

He chose the former.

The Bigsby/'Floating

Bridge' is one of the few that weve seen and verified as original, factory-

installed equipment on a Les Paul of the era.

Gibson Custom has reproduced 'The Babe' with the original guitar in house,

where she was digitally scanned so that every gorgeous curve, angle and

profile could be captured for consistency.

Aniline dye, 'Custom Buckers' and

period accurate details in every department all come together around the

original guitars individuality to give a few players and collectors the

opportunity to own as near to an exact recreation of 'The Babe' as possible.

Cherry Tea Burst finish captures the guitars incredibly preserved finish and

patina.

The original Aniline dye has maintained a majority of its red, a

rarity among vintage Les Pauls.

Digitally scanned and accurate neck profile.

Vintage accurate neck binding and body binding plastics.
