Collector’s Choice™ #16 1959 Les Paul "Redeye"
Gibson Custom is proud to announce Collector’s Choice™
#16 1959 Les Paul “Redeye”—as the latest instrument in a series dedicated to
recreating the look, feel, tone and vibe of some of guitar history’s rarest
instruments.
Collector’s Choice™ #16 is the long-time sidekick of Ed
King, co-writer of the southern-rock classic “Sweet Home Alabama” and veteran
of Lynyrd Skynyrd and Strawberry Alarm Clock. King agreed to work with the team
at Gibson Custom to recreate his “Collector’s Choice” Les Paul.
The team, which includes Gibson Custom Historic Manager
Edwin Wilson, was stunned by the beauty and well-preserved look of King’s
cherished instrument. “The top on this thing is crazy, and its condition is
actually quite incredible,” observes Wilson. “Once we plugged it in, the rare
mix of feel and tone that lay beneath the surface proved this guitar as
well-rounded an example of a rare ’59 burst as we have ever had the pleasure to
re-create.”
I want one!
