From Gibson-

"One of two of the first Collector's Choice guitars to be introduced with a fanatical attention to detail by way of Gibson Custom's True Historic specifications, Collector's Choice #24, 1959 Les Paul #9-1945 aka "Nicky" is as true to the original as one can come without being Charles Daughtry, "Nicky's" proud owner and the generous collector who worked with Gibson Custom side by side to recreate her to near perfection. When we presented Charles with the prototype, he simply replied with "Oh my God….you guys nailed it!"

"Nicky's" tone is both rich and brilliant with exceptional balance via two Custom Bucker pickups based on analysis of the originals, generously provided to Gibson Custom by Charles. As with all Collector's Choice guitars by Gibson Custom, "Nicky's" details were photographed, digitally scanned and documented by the Engineers and Craftspeople of Gibson Custom, which shows in every nuance of tone, feel and beauty captured in the recreation of this absolutely stunning example of an original 1959 ‘Burst."

This guitar is in overall mint condition with minimal to no signs of actual play or age (See pics)

Guitar is freshly setup and restrung with 10-46 strings. Includes Original Hard Shell Case and COA & Original Case Candy.
