@caulinrocker1 > Peter Green flipped the pick-up around after one of his technicians accidentally assembled the magnet for the neck pick-up in reverse giving it the out-of-phase tone. Peter thought it looked cool or something like that. So the story goes.

@AOSoloist You don't need to use bad words to offend someone. It's very easy to use polite and curteous language to offend. This is just another point I'm making because I like a good debate. If anything I've said doesn't make sense, please let me know.
@AOSoloist You weren't wrong my friend, you just didn't see the whole picture before coming to a conclusion. Another thing is that you say that you don't see why your comment might hurt me. It didn't hurt me but the implication is that because you can't see (or understand) why it might it might hurt someone than it shouldn't hurt someone. Because you don't understand something or see the logic in it, it doesn't mean it's not possible.
@AOSoloist The '59 Les Paul has a unique sound for various reasons including design, wood used and specific electronics. This sound is different than a classical guitar and many people with different musical tastes consider the sound just as beautiful and enjoyable. So... the '59 Les Paul high price = scarcity, artistic beauty and great sound. I hope you can now see that I DID understand everything you said and I just pointed out why your argument was incomplete.
@AOSoloist Les Paul, who originally designed the guitar, is just as much a design artist as the guy who designed a particular classical guitar. The artist who now builds the classical guitar is the same as the factory that built all the Les Pauls. About 1600 '59 Les Pauls were made. Probably only a small percentage of those survived through the years. One of the elements that people value in the Les Paul is their beauty. Even though it's mass produced, it's still beautiful.
@AOSoloist Another element in their high price is that, since they are made by hand, the demand is high... in other words there aren't many of them around. So... classical guitar high price = scarcity, artistic beauty and great sound.
These are exactly the same elements that produce high prices in the '59 Les Paul. The ONLY difference is that they were mass produced and not made by hand.
Sorry man. Also, you didn't hurt me. I enjoy an argument and I see now that some of my wording was rude. As for the argument, people vary as to what they value. The price is only an indication of what they consider important. Classical guitar making IS an art and DOES take great skill. The great classical guitars are expensive because thay are a beautifull artistic expression AND they produce a the perfect sound.
@AOSoloist You "never understood" and you still don't... which is alright. Nothing wrong with not understanding something. But if you're aware enough to know that you don't understand, then don't tell others to take a chill pill because they don't know or understand about the romero family. Can you now see the hypocrisy in that close minded statement?
Saw this beauty at the show. Wanted to play it so bad, but then I remembered that Peter green and gary Moore had played it, and immediately knew I was unworthy.
@ErosaScuderia dude why on earth spent 1 million and buying something so useless and vain as a bugatti? it pollutes, it'll get u killed, it makes u look like a vain asshole egofreak, i'd get a suzuki jimny all the way
Its Always Escaped My Mind How Gibson Can Charge This Much For A Guitar If You Think About It Logically Its Only A Tree , Strings And Some Pick-Ups . . . . .
@emmetwhitey Technically, yes. But don't you love that feeling when you pickup your guitar? It has a history and who knows how many people have played it before you. As stupid as this sounds, I feel like each guitar has a story hahaha
bought an orig '59 just like THIS ONE at a garage sale that had stickers alllll over the poor thing,back of neck sanded down to the wood bridge p/u switched out and it was floyded at the bridge!!! such a shame!
I am just sooo frickin lucky that I got my granny:) She kept herself a 1959 Gibson Les Paul Standard for so long mint condition:)......And it was a great christmas present lol thanks grandma! And thanks gramps for that 1964 Gibson Les Paul Custom!...Fucking love old people!!!!
@PulseFyre Either you are confused, don't know the year of your Gibson Les Paul Custom, or don't have that model of guitar at all. The Les Paul Custom was not made in 1964. It was made 1958-1960 and 1968-present.
It looks well played, it was probably a lot of fun to play. Btw, if you own this guitar, you automatically have a bigger d*ck than your friends, Just saying
this is bullshit... i dont give a fuck if this guitar belongs to jesus christ himself... its still a guitar!!! it deserves to be played!!!!! wtf man?!?!?!
Is this the guitar that Peter Green rewired and turned the humbucker around? Either way, what a beautiful tone Mr Green had on those early Fleetwood Mac blues albums. Now.... Dear Santa....
@paul92419 : Yes, this is Peter's 'magic' Les Paul. He didnt do the out of phase himself. AFAIK, someone was doing a repair for him and re-installed it backwards and it was not done on purpose. It was a wonderful mistake. Only Peter could get the tone from this guitar like no other.
@PlayRockGuitarSongs well lucky him, and for you too to be able to see it! aha i would just guess that basically every 59' is mindblowing at the least :P
@rangerinthehood - I thought there were about 1600 bursts made - in ALL - and 1000 are unaccounted for (destroyed or missing, undiscovered.) Only 600 arr presently accounted for, that's damn few.
Some people are going to be VERY happy to find an old Flametop in n attic somewhere!
I like this one because it sings beautifully, it's just a good one. Gibson made a few dogs like then, just as they do now. Even prettier-looking dogs worth 400k.
The reason we keep a '59 in a case is, 1,000 years from now, when music hits rock bottom and Christ is risen, walking earth once more, he'll have something to play.
@yellowvespa04 Not even Jesus, God, Muhammad, Allah, Jahweh and the Holy Ghost could pry that from my hands if it were mine. And yes, I know that some of those are the same person, allegedly.
@yellowvespa04 Yeah Id keep one in the case for when Santa comes. Both have about the same amount of physical evidence supporting their existence and both are believed to be real by children and dim witted simpletons.
R.I.P Les Paul. . . the greatest guitar inventor of the times. . . the man who gave this amazing guitar along w/ the help of Gibson. passed on Aug 13, 2009 . .. bt. will never be forgotten. . . the man who gave us. . overdubbing, multitracking etc. LES PAUL: 1915 - 2009 . .. U WILL NEVER BE FORGOTTEN, " The Wizard " Les Paul.
This has been posted a couple of years ago. it is PETER GREEN'S '59 Les Paul which he sold to Gary Moore in 1970 for &50 (deferred payment). Moore sold it a few years ago for 2 MILLION!!!
the lemon burst finishes are not as striking as the cherry sunburst no way takes alot away from its appearance i'd rather have a '58 or a '60 w/ a nice sunburst finish
in fact i thought there were only 2 choices during those years black or cherry sunburst i have never seen or heard of what people have been describing as a "Lemonburst finish " or is that just what happens when the cherry red is completely worn away?...
@MOSKII58 Just depends on how much light is was exposed to. Nitro finishes are nice, they let the guitar 'breathe' more but are not as durable as polyurethane finishes. That is where you get that wonderful patina, like on an old piece of furniture. Even the red finishes they used on SG's and 335 guitars faded really badly depending on light exposure.
Gibsons from that period are know for snapped headstocks. 60's SGs were the worst. All the gigs this guitar has seen, no doubt it has been in the shop more than once.
That's had a h/stock repair at some point , the " Les Paul model " decal is missing and there's a crack running across between the G and low E strings .. pity .
Peter Green/Gary Moore Les paul......One of only a few things in the world I cannot truely comprehened to which the extent I would go to own....fantastic!
It looks like the pickups have been removed... am I right? just covers? I can't see the screws that would normally be there. what a great looking guitar!

the lemon burst finishes are not as striking as the cherry sunburst no way takes alot away from its appearance i'd rather have a '58 or a '60 w/ a nice sunburst finish
in fact i thought there were only 2 choices during those years black or cherry sunburst i have never seen or heard of what people have been describing as a "Lemonburst finish " or is that just what happens when the cherry red is completely worn away?...

@MOSKII58 Just depends on how much light is was exposed to. Nitro finishes are nice, they let the guitar 'breathe' more but are not as durable as polyurethane finishes. That is where you get that wonderful patina, like on an old piece of furniture. Even the red finishes they used on SG's and 335 guitars faded really badly depending on light exposure.

Such a beautiful instrument, its a shame those guitars now sit in a glass case, they deserve to be played.

Gibsons from that period are know for snapped headstocks. 60's SGs were the worst. All the gigs this guitar has seen, no doubt it has been in the shop more than once.

It´s an original "unburst" in this case when the color faded, maybe this guitar was exposed much time in high light conditions.

Yeah, but they still don't compare to actual aged wood from the originals.
