1959 Burst Max Baranet Gibson Les Paul
This is a Max Baranet Built Les Paul Limited Kit that was the Body/Top And Neck he sold 45+ years ago... Very Few were Ever Sold... This is a late 70's LP Kit
This Les Paul has the Exact Specs, ALL The Wood is from same the same country.. forest..... as Gibson was buying and using to build their Holy Grail Most Prized Guitar of ALL TIME.. In 1959....The Gibson Burst Les Paul Standard!
So The Maple Top, Brazilian Rosewood Fretboard. The Italian Mother Of Pearl Inlays.. All is really the same wood, to the same specs as the $500,000 1959 Gibson Burst.. Remember 1969 to late 1970's when Max sought out and purchased the Wood is only less than 20 years span.. Max did it,built it the guitar. Dave Johnson Put it together and sprayed the Nitro Finish. Added real 1959 Gibson PAF's.. etc.. Here is as close as anyone one earth can get, if you do not have 500k....Anyone reading this and is a 59 LP lover.. Already knows all I said and more..
Max Built With The Same Wood.... From The Same country...... The same forest the wood was harvested... The same suppliers... That Gibson Got Their Wood from....Remember this Shell was built in late 1970's when a Burst was not 20 years old and sold for $1,000 Fact are.. It's the WOOD That gets you the Sound, Tone.. as the Most Important part of Any Guitar.. Gibson Just Had a Great Find in 59, as no other year has brought us a more wanted, copied, price tag since 1959, And Before 59.. In my book, every Gibson 1959 Guitar all are Unreal Tone Animals.. You won't Be Disappointed if you choose to purchase this guitar!
The name Peter "Max" Baranet reigns supreme in many Burst circles, revered for crafting a limited number of the world's finest replicas for players including Slash, Tom Petty, Eddie Van Halen, Zakk Wylde, Jeff Beck,
This Max 1959 Was Done Right.. From Start to Finish.. Using same hide glue the same steps as Gibson done back in 1959, same Nitro etc etc.
