This limited release 58 Burst recreation brings some really nice refinements to the already classic Les Paul Standard.
The Warren Haynes Les Paul has some truly unique features including a CAE SOUND unity-gain buffer pre-amp unit (which maintains consistent tone when volume is lowered, and helps maintain signal strength through multiple effects,)
The frets come over the fretboard binding, the knob pointers lay flat against the body, TonePros locking bridge & tailpiece, Schaller strap locks, bone nut, a beefy ‘58 reissue neck profile, and the Haynes Burst finish (according to Haynes somewhere between Gibson’s Lemon Drop & Iced Tea finishes.) And powered by a pair of Burstbucker pickups.
This guitar presents as new, sounds like a good Les Paul should and plays effortlessly with a ton of sustain. All original and very clean. These have become exceptionally hard to find. Great character tonally!
Serial number WH112 is quite simply a great Custom Shop Les Paul based on a ‘58 Burst and built to Warren Haynes specific requirements.
It comes with the certificate of authenticity and the original Gibson Custom Shop Case
