Introducing the Gibson Custom Collector's Choice #5 '59 Les Paul "Donna," a stunning guitar meticulously crafted for discerning enthusiasts. Originally built in 1959 and now owned by Tom Wittrock, his iconic instrument has aged gracefully, showcasing a beautiful faded burst finish that reflects its rich history. Gibson Custom spared no effort in recreating this masterpiece, dedicating over 5 years to source premium maple tops and ensure unparalleled quality - each of which were individually approved by Wittrock.
Crafted with a 1-piece Mahogany body and meticulously selected Figured Maple tops, each component of the guitar exudes excellence. The neck, featuring a late '50s profile and bound Indian Rosewood fingerboard, delivers the authentic feel and playability of a '59 Les Paul with its rolled edges. The use of Hide Glue in assembly ensures optimal resonance, contributing to the instrument's exceptional tonal character.
Capturing the essence of the original PAF humbuckers, Gibson Custom outfitted the Collector's Choice #5 with Custom Bucker pickups. These meticulously crafted pickups, utilising period-correct wire and winding techniques, faithfully reproduce the vintage Les Paul sound. From tight lows to sweet highs, every note resonates with clarity and warmth, reminiscent of classic recordings.
Attention to detail is evident in every aspect of the guitar, from the thinner peghead veneer to the "broken" smoothed edges. The hardware, including Reissue Kluson Deluxe Green Key tuners and a lightweight Aluminium tailpiece, enhances both functionality and aesthetics. Limited to just 300 units worldwide, owning the Collector's Choice #5 is a rare privilege reserved for a fortunate few.
Experience the legacy of the '59 Les Paul with the Gibson Custom Collector's Choice #5 "Donna." With its impeccable craftsmanship and timeless appeal, this limited edition instrument promises to inspire players and collectors alike for generations to come.
