The 2016 Gibson Custom Shop Collector's Choice CC#37, also known as 'Carmelita' 1959 Les Paul Standard, offers meticulous attention to detail and provides an almost flawless vintage experience for collectors and players alike.

This stunning ‘Carmelita’ ‘59 Les Paul reissue captures every nuance of the tone, feel, and beauty of the original and faithfully reproduces it. Features such as the hand-matched flamed maple top, precision-carved top and neck shape derived from precise digital scans of the original, reformulated butyrate knobs, multi-layer plastic made from original recipe materials, replica “PAF” humbucking pickups, and carefully hand-distressed famous Cherry Burst nitrocellulose finish make this guitar as close to the original as possible. Not only does this guitar boast an incredible appearance, but it also delivers exceptional sound quality.
