I think is snob to own this guitars only for it´s value and put it on a wall, like an ornament.... but... joe bonamasa for example owns and tours one and it sounds amazing. The truth is tht is a great guitar. i don´t know if it is the best guitar ever made, but it´s amazing in terms of look and it sounds amazing. The PAF´s sounds amazing.

all that fake ageing is crap. however for a few hundred thousand dollars you can own a '59 Lester. i can't stand those two burst brother snobs. people spend way too much time worrying about "vintage" and not enough time thinking about the playing. i wonder how many "help-me" box's this guy uses?

@murfdog19 The Beano Burst was released two days ago. It's on the Gibson site now.

@murfdog19 i have to lean toward what you are saying, most of the 1960 tones i've heard sound significantly better than its 1959 counterpart. ie> check out fretted Americana's 60's vs 59's..Tom Wittrock also says the bursts do not fade on the later 59's & most of the 1960 finishes, because they started to perfect or sig improve the paint materials & finishing processes at the end of the 59 run and into the 60's and beyond..you can see most 60's & later show a better burst which did not fade.thx

@MOSKII58 Everyone assumes it was a '60 because Clapton remembers it having a very thin neck. Gibson is actually reproducing the "Beano Burst" which will be released in January, and it's based on a 1960 Les Paul Standard.

@murfdog19 Are you sure Clapton played a 1960, I always read that he played the 1959, but its only what i've read online...

how much does the re-finishing of that 1959 affect the value? its beautiful none-the -less..
