• Guys, we've spent considerable money converting the Les Paul Forum to this new XenForo platform, and we have ongoing monthly operating expenses. THE "DONATIONS" TAB IS NOW WORKING, AND WE WOULD APPRECIATE ANY DONATIONS YOU CAN MAKE TO KEEP THE LES PAUL FORUM GOING! Thank you!

I can’t believe I’m doing this, but I’m putting my 2019 60th Anniversary Brazilian R9/59 Les Paul in a gorgeous Golden Poppy finish up for sale. Looks a lot like the Duke Burst (real 59), if anyone is familiar with it. As most of you know, these Brazilian 60th Anniversaries are like unicorns. I haven’t seen a single one for sale on Reverb or EBay this year. Only a handful were made earlier in the year, most likely with the Brazilian they had left from 2018, but this guitar is made with 2019 60th Anniversary specs, and comes with the 60th badge and COA with Brazilian designation. It is in near mint condition with only minor playwear. If you want to call it excellent, fine, but it’s basically perfect. Zero fretwear. Huge, wide ribbon flame that really pops. It’s not a traditional top by any means, but that’s what makes it so unique. Super dark Brazilian board.

The guy I bought it from, who is a member here, said it was the best sounding Les Paul he had ever played. He actually made me promise to offer it back to him first if I ever decided to sell, but finances don’t allow him to buy it right now, so someone else is going to get lucky. It truly is a special guitar, the bridge tone is the best I’ve ever heard, and it plays like butter. The only reason I’m selling is because a) I need to free up some money right now, and b) because of it’s rarity and desire to keep it pristine, I’ve honestly been a little scared to play it. No guitar should sit unplayed, so my loss is your gain.

Not only does this guitar sound and play amazing, I genuinely think this is a solid investment. These 60th Brazilians are so rare and 2019 was such a great year for Gibson Custom Shop guitars, it’s only going to go up in value.

Asking $12,000 obo. I can be flexible.
