• Guys, we've spent considerable money converting the Les Paul Forum to this new XenForo platform, and we have ongoing monthly operating expenses. THE "DONATIONS" TAB IS NOW WORKING, AND WE WOULD APPRECIATE ANY DONATIONS YOU CAN MAKE TO KEEP THE LES PAUL FORUM GOING! Thank you!

In original condition, possibly the only one in Australia with a serial number under 10, Comes with all the Case Candy & COA

$6,500 AU plus shipping

Please PM should you be interested:

Here's the blurb from the Gibson Website:

With fewer than 2,000 Les Paul’s made between 1958 and 1960, these hallowed instruments are extremely rare and valuable. A handful of transitional guitars that blend the ever evolving specs are even more prized. As the chunky, rounded neck profile of the ’59 segued into the slimmer, faster profile of the ’60 Les Paul Standard, a mere handful of fatter 50’s necked examples slipped into the new model year, and of these, the Les Paul owned by legendary music producer and songwriter John Shanks is known to be as good as it gets.

Here are the details:

Unique Faded Cherry Sunburst
Serial number CC07A-00*
Lightly figured Maple top
One piece Mahogany body
Historic “Vintage” Aniline red dye on the body and back of the neck
Rounded neck profile

Lightweight Aluminium stop tailpiece
Grover tuners
8.8 pounds
