I spoke to the cats at Chicago Music Exchange today and they informed me that the 59 Neilsen's are on the way. They also told me they will be a new web dealer for 2016 and have ordered over 250K worth of guitars just for the initial order. I had no idea this model was even coming and heard nothing about it. Gibson is only building 50 aged signed for the world with 35 for North America. I am sure they will all sell out because 50 is a low number.
Here is something Gibson has not done to date. CME was allotted 5 of the Neilson's and they instantly all sold out. If you bought one from them you can take delivery of it in the store and they will announce the date where you can take a photo with Rick and his real 59 and you with your reissue. Now that's kind of cool. They are doing this promotion since Rick was originally from Chi town area.
Selling price $12,099 and they are gone. No surprise they sold them so fast but I don't see these as being as cool as the Ace Frehley.

I don't care for the video. Rick is asked if he ever used that guitar on any major songs and he replys "yeh the good ones". Then they ask him if he ever used it on any famous live shows and he says "we played 300 days a year so I am sure I did". Pretty lame ass answers if you ask me. Dude cant even remember the importance of his guitar.
