Description
What makes this guitar special: This beautiful one-off Custom Shop '59 was recently acquired as part of a collection of nine Les Pauls, each one hand selected by Yamano specifically for the Japanese market. This particular model was the only one made & shows off an absolutely gorgeous Ruby Burst Quilt top. A more slender profile neck combined with Gibson USA humbuckers makes this beauty an awesome sounding guitar! Yamano Music paperwork & hang tag written in Japanese are included with the guitar. Don't miss out on a great opportunity to own a true one-of-a-kind Les Paul!
