    Thanks for sharing. Wow! Custom order. Great choices. The top on it is awesome! It would be amazing if they made a signature model of yours like that. I would want one. I would tell my wife I needed one to match Corker, our orange tiger cat. Really happy to be a Guitar Wisdom subscriber. Have a nice weekend.

    Based on 90% of the bursts I've seen in pictures and the two I've seen in real life... that top is so much more accurate for a 59 than most of the R9s. If I ever have the money to do a custom build, it'll take a 4 second phone call to the custom shop because I'll just have to say "Give me the Tomo Fujita". Congrats on an excellent piece.

    • @TomoFujitaMusic
      @TomoFujitaMusic  Рік тому +2

      Thank you so much! I collected many photos from real 1959 Les Paul Burst and I sent those to Gibson and we had many zoom meeting about my top! I was very picky about that color choice. Thank you! I think a few people already did that. Tomo Dirty Lemon R9

    Custom made guitar is every guitarist dream come true. I have in Finland custom made JEM. It has Gibson scale and Gotoh 510 tremolo. Too much other things to say here. But it is my design with guitar master maker product you cannot buy on guitar stores.
    Nice Gibson handle with care 👍.

  • @thep2pband
    @thep2pband Рік тому +1

    I bought one too. The most I've ever paid for a guitar. Got lucky and found one used from a guy locally. He decided to let it go. He was a Tele guy. Saved me some money and while it wasn't exactly like I would custom order, it was close enough, Ice tea burst with a slight chevron and lots of movement in the flame. Anyway, point is, it feels and sounds right. I'm happy to see someone like you (and Uncle Larry) diggin this model. I was scared to buy it, but really happy I did, Can't stop playing it. Good choice!!!

    Amazing to finally see one of my favorite guitarists on UA-cam with a Les Paul! I’ve had a crush with Gibsons since I started playing guitars and I bought, sold and traded quite a few Les Pauls. Custom ordering is the best way to get exactly what you want. My favorite Les Paul is a pretty heavy R7 from 1993 that is 4.5kg. My other favorite Les Paul is actually a 594 10 Top singlecut from PRS that weighs only 3.65kg 🎸
