Crafted based on a historic Les Paul
The Gibson Custom Collector's Choice #45 Danger 'Burst captures every detail of the original 1959 Les Paul, serial #9 0676. This solidbody electric guitar is pure eye candy. It's blessed with a flowing flame pattern, a scene-stealing Lemonburst fade finish with a hint of Caramel, and enough wear to make it feel like an old friend. At Sweetwater, it didn't take long for us to recognize the exclusivity of this Les Paul's tone. By virtue of an unusual balance between its humbuckers, this guitar delivers extremely thick mids and brawny lows with just enough high-end sizzle to keep things from getting dark. And its beefy late '59 neck profile vibrates like crazy with every note you play. It doesn't matter how many Les Pauls you own - the Collector's Choice #45 is unlike any other.
Every inch of this Les Paul has vibe
To revive the essence of the original Danger 'Burst Les Paul, Gibson painstakingly re-created each part of the Collector's Choice #45 piece-by-piece. The original non-weight-relieved mahogany body, double-carved maple top, aged nitro finish, and "broken"-edged headstock are only the beginning. Not only do you get the late '59 neck profile you've been craving, but the accuracy of the details goes all the way down to the straight-line positioning of the Collector's Choice #45 Les Paul's vintage-style Kluson Green Key tuners, the size and shape of its cellulose trapezoid inlays, and its '50-style long neck tenon joint.
Custom-wound humbucking pickups match the originals
One of the most distinctive characteristics of the Collector's Choice #45 Les Paul is its plugged-in voice. Thanks to the atypical balance between its PAF humbuckers, this solidbody electric guitar exudes the perfect blend of dense mids, muscular lows, and snarling high-end sizzle. Many experts and collectors feel that the Danger 'Burst is among the best-sounding vintage Les Pauls in out there. To capture that magic, Gibson Custom hand-wound a set of CustomBucker humbucking pickups to perfectly match those tones. We've heard many vintage-style pickups, and Gibson Customs are among the sweetest sounding out there.
