Only 50 aged and signed Nielsen Les Pauls were produced in 2016. ...and this specimen, serial number 34, is distinguished by a particularly beautiful top with a tightly flamed grain, incredibly authentic, detailed aging and a dream weight of just 3860 grams. It is an exact replica of the '59 Burst owned by the renowned collector and Cheap Trick guitarist Rick Nielsen and every single sign of wear and playing on the original has been meticulously recreated. It features a typical '59 Medium neck with rounded shoulders, which elevates playability — especially in combination with its remarkable weight — to the next level. Furthermore, it boasts rare "True Historics" specs such as select woods, hide glue and a super-thin nitrocellulose lacquer finish. Even played acoustically it's wonderfully resonant and loud, but when plugged into an amp with the two Custombucker pickups, it truly reveals its potential. Extremely direct sound, where you can always clearly hear the natural resonance and woody character of the Les Paul. Great attack and a satisfying, classic Les Paul tone. Nielsen guitars have become highly sought-after collector's items as they are virtually impossible to find. But this is a phenomenal Les Paul all around, one that would receive our top recommendation even without Rick Nielsen's signature. We are therefore delighted to offer you this exclusive guitar in absolute collector's condition.
