1997 Gibson Custom Shop One-Off Yamano '59 Vintage Reissue Les Paul

What makes this guitar special:  This beautiful one-off Custom Shop '59 was recently acquired as part of a collection of nine Les Pauls, each one hand selected by Yamano specifically for the Japanese market.  This particular model was the only one made & shows off an absolutely gorgeous Ruby Burst Quilt top.  A more slender profile neck combined with Gibson USA humbuckers makes this beauty an awesome sounding guitar!  Yamano Music paperwork & hang tag written in Japanese are included with the guitar.  Don't miss out on a great opportunity to own a true one-of-a-kind Les Paul!
