I have been playing, buying and collecting high end Les Pauls for over 30+ years… and hands down, these Tom Doyle TIME MACHINES are the best guitars I’ve ever played, period. There is no telling these beauties from a real 1959 Vintage Les Paul that would sell for major six figures… no joke! The sound, the playability, the tone, the relaxed worn in vibe and mojo, and the roar that comes from these pickups is simply the best I’ve ever encountered. All the things you might hear about how great the Doyle Coils TRU-CLONES PAF Humbuckers are is beyond true. The articulation of the notes, the bloom, the clarity, the lack of mud on the low notes, the overtones… it’s all there in spades!  Here’s the coolest part… absolutely no one can ever tell that this thing is not a real ’59 Burst. Everyone who sees this thing, hears it, plays it… swears it’s a the genuine article. Tom Doyle having worked as Les Paul’s personal guitar man, sound tech, pickup builder, and co-inventor really is evident in these masterpieces. The only reason I’m selling this one is that I have two of them… and I’ve bonded more with the other one for some reason, and it’s time to thin out some of my collection. Please note that not only is this a Tom Doyle TIME MACHINE… but this is a Custom Shop True Historic, which brings this thing to a whole other level. If you’ve dreamed of owning a real ’59 Burst but couldn’t imagine mortgaging your house to do it, then this is your chance to own something very rare and special at a fraction of the cost.

GIBSON CUSTOM SHOP TRUE HISTORIC 1959 LES PAUL ~ 2015 VINTAGE HERITAGE CHERRY BURST – JUST THIS SIDE OF A REAL DEAL '59 !!!!

TOM DOYLE "TIME MACHINE" #27 RELIC TRUE HISTORIC AGED LES PAUL '59 REISSUE Featuring our Doyle Coils TRU-CLONES PAF Humbuckers and Our '59 Holy Grail Harness with PIO Real Bumble Bee Caps... Kluson Supreme Tuners 18:1 gear ratio , and Vintage Aged Lifton Case

This is your chance to own part of the actual Les Paul Legacy…
The next time you look at an Aged or Relic'd Les Paul… take a really good look. Have you ever seen or played first-hand what a real late 50’s Model Les Paul Standard actually looks like when it’s been played for almost 60 years? We have… more times than we could possibly count over the last 5 or 6 decades. When you see a “factory aged” Les Paul, ever notice how generally the only thing that seems to get aged is the top, and perhaps ever so slightly… the nickel hardware? Now compare that to a Real Vintage 1959 Les Paul Burst that has been played its whole life… a keen eye will quickly notice all the outrageous shortcomings of these so called “aged” guitars. Take note of the REAL vintage aged finish checking on the top... This is not done with razor blades, etc... This is actual natural aging and weather checking/finish cracking. 

When Tom Doyle and his team Vintage Age and Relic a Les Paul guitar, the ENTIRE guitar gets complete attention. Think about it for a moment… how could an almost 60 year old guitar have a weather checked top but then have brand new shiny volume and tone knobs with no “greening”, perfectly clean finger indicators with no rust? How could the top be so old, but the hardware looks so clean and new? Why are the tuning keys brand new and not discolored, and the nickel housing not patina’d and rusted? How can the pearloid fret markers not be discolored? And for God’s sake, how can all the plastics be fresh and clean, and crisp… right from the factory? We could go on and on… So again, take a really good look at these supposedly aged or relic'd (and very expensive) Les Paul guitars! Rather questionable in our humble opinion. Now... look at this!

SO CLOSE TO A REAL '59 BURST ITS UNCANNY!
