Hi,

my father bought in 2003 an "1959 Les Paul Historic Collection" in sunburst, Serial #922XX. It was an recommendation from an collector, who bought the same guitar. Unfortunately the dealer has closed and we don´t have contact to the collector. Here are some specs:

- murphy aged with certificate
- modern wiring
- linear?!? CTS pots with 500k
- bumblebees
- very beautiful fretboard (NO brasilian rosewood)
- build in 2002

Has anybody more information about this guitar. In 2003 it was incredible expensive.

Best regards
purpendicular

What sort of information are you looking for? Murphy aged guitars are no different than non-aged guitars of the same year.

Nice guitar. 2002 R9 Murphys are pretty rare. Looks like you are correct on all the details you posted.
