For sale is a truly special instrument — a Gibson Collector’s Choice #16 “Red Eye” — a recreation of one of the most beloved ’59 Bursts ever documented. This is not just another reissue. This particular guitar carries a story, a lineage, and a soul.
What makes it extraordinary is its provenance:
It was owned and played by the phenomenal Oz Noy, one of the most distinctive and expressive guitar voices of our time. Along with the guitar comes an authenticity certificate directly from Oz, confirming its history and significance. Instruments rarely come with this kind of emotional and musical weight — this one does.
About the Guitar
Red Eye is known across the Burst world for its unmistakable character — the subtle fade, the dynamic top, and the feel that blurs the line between a modern creation and a living piece of late-’50s magic. Gibson’s Collector’s Choice series captured that essence with unmatched attention to detail, and CC-16 stands as one of the most sought-after examples.
This guitar resonates with richness, clarity, and the kind of bloom that only the best CC instruments deliver. Whether clean or pushed, it responds with warmth, authority, and astonishing touch sensitivity.
If you’ve ever wanted to own a CC-16, this is the one.
If you’ve ever wanted to own a guitar with genuine musical provenance, this is a rare opportunity.
And if you’ve ever wanted an instrument that inspires you the moment you pick it up, this will do that every single time.
Includes:
• Certificate of Authenticity from Gibson
• Separate authenticity letter from Oz Noy
• Original case and case candy
• Exceptional condition for a played instrument with meaningful history
A guitar like this isn’t just bought — it is adopted, appreciated, and continued.
If you’re reading this, you likely already feel its pull. Reach out if you’d like to bring Red Eye into your story next.
