Description

A well-executed recreation of Gibson's holy grail! This fine piece of Custom Shop craftsmanship takes the R9 a step further with a historically accurate Brazilian Rosewood fingerboard - a rare find on any modern guitar. The pickups have been replaced with Klein PAFs, which are reverse-engineered to exact 1959 PAF; COA included. The guitar comes with a Gibson LP case that is not original, but it said to be better than the original Lifton case that shipped with the guitar in 2003.

*When using Affirm, we charge an additional 3.5% fee on the total at checkout. The majority of our instruments are consignment, where CVG keeps a small percentage of each sale. To be able to cover the additional costs required to offer financing, we have to include a higher fee to the customer. The 3.5% fee will be included in and spread across your Affirm payments.
