Collector`s Choice #37 1959 Les Paul Carmelita by Gibson Custom
Carmelita Burst

Carmelita is one of the legendary 1959 Les Pauls, along with Minnesota Burst, Gruhn Burst, Danger Burst, and others. Like the rest of the specific 1959s, Carmelita is also privately owned and is available solely in form of a replica. Collector`s Choice #37 1959 Les Paul Carmelita costs $10,499 and brings a yet unseen level of precision and fidelity. The near-perfect replica includes the trademark "Claw" figured top (described by its owner as a pattern of three-finger wide flames in the gut). Each individual #37 Carmelita is made to True Historic specifications, allowing the player the full Carmelita experience. Most notable features include a one-piece mahogany body, "Claw" figured maple top, one-piece mahogany neck (original profile, hot hide glue construction), one-piece (Indian rosewood) fingerboard, custom-wound pickups and aged hardware and plastics.
