Hi Keith. I have the 2009 version, the 50th ann 1959 Les Paul. The main differences being on the 59, you have the perimeter cherry burst while the 60 has the teardrop shape burst. In 2009 they built 1959 of these in either cherryburst or Ice tea burst, the latter mimicking a faded cherry burst. I believe that case is made in China under license. The pickup, switch, plug and wiring are all Gibson, the pots maybe also and the caps are Mallory 150's. The body is most likely a 4 piece mahogany with a veneer over the back to hide it, I know mine is. They did put their best people on this project and used the best woods and such, mine weighs in at 8 pound, 1 & 3/4 oz. Good luck in your sale sir.
Your video made me buy this guitar! I bought one which has been a case queen since it's purchase. It instantly became one of my favorite guitars that I currently own, which is 112 guitars at the moment. I recently uploaded a full overview of my current guitar collection on my UA-cam channel, so come check it out! Greetings from The Netherlands! 🤘🏻😁
Good review thanks for posting glad I didn't sell mine. The tuners are Wilkinson.
