Now that I got your attention, its not a 1959 Les Paul, but rather a Heritage H-150 Custom Order to the specs of a 1959 Les Paul.



Here's the layout
One Piece Mahogany back
Highly figured maple cap (enough to make any Les Paul Custom shop owener jealous)
Vintage Sunburst
Gibson Historic pickguard, rings, poker chip, and selector tip
1959 neck profile, custom carved by hand
Real mother of pearl trap inlays
Dark rosewood fretboard (unlike dyed Gibson fretboards)
Sperzel tuners with Ivoriod Buttons
Hefty 9.2lbs for sustain.
Seymour Duncan Seth Lovers
RS Guitarworks vintage wiring harness
Switchcraft input jack and selector

I did take it a step further by replacing the tailpiece with a Vibromate and B5 Bigsby.

Beautiful guitar, love the color, have the utmost respect for Heritage and I am sure it plays and feels every bit as great as it looks.

Congrats man and Happy New Guitar Day :headbang:

Like pure tone heaven. Great growl, no muddiness or too bright... Just perfect for hard rock, rock, blues, and even a bit of country (of course is modern country really that different from hard rock/classic rock?)

Very nice flame on that. Congratulations. It's an awesome guitar

Everything about the guitar is good, except the Bigsby, which is kind of an anticlimax to an NGD enjoyment.
