Nathaniel leads the CME House band like no one else can, with incredible skill and an authentic ‘59 ‘Burst to boot. Behold this 1959 Gibson Les Paul Standard, the most collectible of all Gibson guitars, and perhaps all guitars, period, presented in action alongside a 1959 ES-335. Nathaniel explains how this guitar came to be one of the most coveted in history and how we were once fortunate enough to have three of them. The Les Paul Standards made by Gibson between 1958 and the end of 1960 represent the very pinnacle of American electric guitar craft and rank as the most collectable vintage guitars on the market. These years were the only ones where the Les Paul Standard was built with a flamed maple top with a cherry sunburst finish, a stopbar tailpiece and tune-o-matic bridge, as well as a pair of PAF humbuckers. An estimated 1700 of the mythical "Burst" Les Pauls still exist today Check out more vintage here: https://bit.ly/3sbw2up Shop Gibson here: https://bit.ly/30PEJyU Watch Our short documentary on 3 Incredible Authentic Bursts here!
