  Gibson 2001 Custom Shop Dave Johnson - Historic Makeovers Peter Green - Gary Moore Burst Replica
(Item#797) This was a very special project that I did with Dave Johnson that was completed back in 2008 and it's been in the Frank Pine collection since. It is now back with me and is for sale. I bought this as a 2001 '58 figured top reissue specifically for this project. I had been waiting for a reissue with the right maple top. I got the guitar, pulled it apart, and off it went to Dave for the full makeover including complete body, top carve, neck and headstock re-shaping, Brazilian rosewood fingerboard w/ aged celluloid inlays and vintage style truss rod, complete refinish with vintage style nitro lacquer. Then many hours were spent on the aging process. transparencies were made from pictures of the original guitar that were then used to lay out all of the dings, dents, scratches and repairs in the correct spots, even the headstock break and repair was replicated. Guitar has the correct Greenburst serial number on the back of the headstock and the original Historic serial number is stamped inside the control cavity. Dave also aged many of the parts to look correct, I bought a set of vintage nickel Grover tuners for the guitar, also has a set of ThroBak Peter Green pickups that were wound for the guitar in 2009, it's been many years so I really can't recall what the rest of the plastic parts are, the harness is 500K CTS pots and some kind of BumbleBee caps, guitar has been played very little and has no wear other than the intended aging, frets are still perfect. Frank went all out and put together a replica display set-up just like Maverick Music was using for the original guitar when displayed at guitar shows. So an Anvil case and a board with copies of all of the pictures that were displayed with the guitar as seen in the last 2 pictures I've posted. Guitar comes with the original black Custom Shop case, paperwork and Historic Makeovers certificate as seen in picture along with the Anvil case and display set-up. NOTE: There are 2 sets of pictures, when you click on the thumbnail you will see "Image 1" & "Image 2". "Image 1" will load right away and then to see the 2nd set of pictures, click on "Image 2". Serious buyers feel free to call me to discuss in more detail if you'd like. (There are rumors of a new Murphy Lab run of Greenbursts in the works with an estimate price range of 30-50K. If true, that makes this guitar a deal)

  Gibson 2013 Custom Shop - Dave Johnson Makeover 1959 Les Paul Reissue
(Item#904) 2013 '59 reissue with a complete makeover including a Brazilian rosewood fingerboard w/ real Celluloid inlays, reshape neck, top carve, break the sharp edges around the headstock, complete refinish w/ vintage correct nitro lacquer, black "Stinger" on back of headstock, real lacquer checking and tasteful aging, the reissue serial number was 6 digits so Dave stamped that number on the shelf of the control cavity and we dropped a digit for the serial number on the headstock to be an accurate 5 digit number with the space after the "9". This is another amazing job by Dave and has a little extra mojo and is scary real looking! The burst color really changes from different angles, from some angles with colder indoor lighting there's a slight bit of greenish hue, and then outside in the sun it's warmer and more amber. A stunning looking guitar! Here's a list of the parts included on the guitar: a set of Duncan zebra bobbin '59 pickups that I installed custom A2 magnets in, w/ aged pole pieces and custom covers, pickups are mounted in aged "Bone" ThroBak rings, harness is VIP pots w/ Luxe PIO BumbleBee caps, original "Patent Pending" set of nickel Grover tuners (I've had these tucked away for a while), TruVintage parts: rolled truss rod cover, switch ring, real Catalin switch tip, aged Burst knobs, output jackplate, aged aluminum tailpiece & steel studs, aged ABR-1 thumbwheels & posts, Dave Johnson pickguard. Guitar weighs 8 lbs 11 ounces, full "C" shape neck with small shoulders that measures: 1st fret - .904", 12th fret - 1.002", Brazilian board was made from a stash that Dave has and has a rich chocolate brown color w/ straight grain, Duncan pickups read: bridge - 8.27K, neck - 7.42K. Pickups have an older tone and feel with the A2 magnets instead of the stock A5's(A5's are also included) and they really work well to keep the overall tone more vintage to match the looks and vibe of this guitar. Guitar comes with hang tags, warranty paper, certificate and brown Lifton case, a Dave Johnson letter will be mailed directly to the buyer. If serious, please call to discuss or get any other info needed about the guitar. Thanks! NOTE: Original Lifton case was used for pictures and is not included with guitar.

Each guitar will go thru an exclusive process by Dave Johnson to replicate the look & feel of a late '50's Sunburst Les paul including: complete strip and re-finish with vintage style nitrocellulose lacquer, real lacquer checking and aging, re-shape neck, top carve, round sharp body & headstock edges, old growth Brazilian fingerboard w/ real celluloid inlays & accurate '50's fretwire. Parts being used guitars: Rewind Electric exclusive MGL PAF pickups w/ NOS wire, Bartlett C.A.B. cream pickup rings, '60's Centralab pots w/ real Bumble Bee caps, Vintage Haven replica Burst knobs & Kluson tuner buttons, Area59 aluminum tailpiece, NEW TruVintage - Mann Made replica ABR-1 Bridge,TruVintage rolled plastic truss rod cover, TruVintage jackplate & poker chip, Dave Johnson pickguard, Dave Johnson - MGL letter & Certificate.
