This gorgeous 2017 custom shop R9 is all original.
It's a #44 'HAPPY JACK' part of the Collectors Choice Series 2010-2017.
Some of the most famous 59's that are often seen in books were picked by Gibson and duplicate down to thee exact contours and thicknesses as the real one.
They were made in limited runs.
The final work was hand carved not CNC.
Hand carved, hand aged.
These were hand aged with a razor blade now a days they use a chemical that cracks the nitro lacquer finish.
These guitars are super sought after and can go as high as 25k.
Most average 10k-15k.
This one I'm taking only serious offers on.
High end partial trades may be considered of greater value but I'm leaning more on a straight cash sale.
Only name brand Marshall, Gibson, Fender considered.

PAF-style Custom Bucker pickups
Beginning with vintage CTS potentiometers and bumble bee capacitors, every part of the Collector's Choice #44 Happy Jack's internal signal path is designed to give you 1959 Les Paul tone.
The guitar sports a pair of Gibson's Custom Bucker humbuckers.
The Custom Bucker is a historically accurate PAF copy, letting you achieve everything from high-gain rock tones to single-coil on steroids clean tones.
If you're looking for a guitar that sings with the voice of the vintage treasures, this is the one.
Every aspect of Vic DaPra's prized '59 Les Paul has been meticulously re-created — from its slim neck profile to its aged plastics and hardware, worn finish, and matching woods.
This limited-edition guitar is truly a gem — you'll never find another one like it.
Nobody knows Les Pauls like Vic DaPra.
He has one of the most extensive collections of Sunburst LP's in the world, and the Collector's Choice #44 Happy Jack is a re-creation of one of his most beloved instruments.
Happy Jack's original owner was a former member of the Tommy Dorsey Orchestra, who purchased the guitar new at Grinnell's Music in Michigan in 1959.
The instrument was played regularly for decades, sustaining plenty of loving wear (check out the belt buckle rash on its back).
A man named Jack in Ohio eventually bought the guitar, hence its name.
Covered with silky, fat flame and bathed in intense autumnal colors, this limited-edition guitar is one of the most eye-catching Les Pauls you'll ever find.
