From Gibson: "Introducing a True Historic Replica of one of the Guitar Collector World's most notorious Les Pauls. One look at "Carmelita" and it's easy to see why the most passionate admirers of original Vintage Gibsons have followed her history from the contiguous United Sates to the Islands of Hawaii and back. Even through multiple nickname changes as each new owner chose to personalize their ownership, Carmelita, as she's referred to by her current, anonymous co-owners, is instantly recognizable for her wide, lush flame, near perfect cherry

'burst, and a trademark "Claw" (three finger-wide flames "in the gut" as one current owner describes it in her figured top. Throughout her known history, she's been called "The Claw", the "Hawaii "Burst" and "Carmelita". By any name, original ser# 9 1953 is visually breath-taking and sonically 100% '59 Les Paul."

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

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