Description

A 2010 Gibson Custom Shop Collector's Choice #1 Melvyn Franks 1959 Les Paul VOS with Faded Sunburst finish.  From a limited series of 300 guitars in VOS finish, this guitar is a reproduction of the 1959 Les Paul Standard that once belonged to Fleetwood Mac's Peter Green, and later to guitar powerhouse Gary Moore.  Melvyn Franks purchased the guitar from Moore.  The guitar is now owned and played by Kirk Hammett of Metallica.  That's quite a heritage.  Now you can own this stunning reproduction for a fraction of what the real '59 Burst would cost.  What are you waiting for?

In excellent condition and freshly set up in-house by our esteemed Guitar Tech, so it's totally dialed in.  Check out the specs below for more information.  Feel free to call us for an in-hand description and to answer any questions you may have before making a buying choice.  This guitar will thrill any Gibson Les Paul aficionado with its authenticity and craftsmanship.  A true Lifetime Guitar.
