全球限量2011 Gibson Custom Shop Collector's Choice CC#2 1959 Les Paul “Goldie” Tom Murphy Aged
Collector's Choice 是 Gibson 於2010年推出的收藏家系列,當年原廠宣稱這是地球上最接近真正元年 Gibson的頂級復刻系列。該系列復刻的是依然存在於收藏家或玩家手中,具高度知名度或特殊意義的 50 至 60 年代 Les Paul。其用料與音色皆經過嚴格把關,原廠採用 3D 掃描技術,完整複製原琴的所有規格細節與使用痕跡。CC 系列亦被公認為 Gibson 所有量產琴中最具收藏價值的系列之一。
目前市面上最稀有且最受歡迎的CC莫過於前期的#1 #2 #4 #8,其中CC#2 “Goldie”是Gibson於2010年發表的第二款CC,全球限量300把,由Gibson傳奇技師Tom Murphy操刀,復刻於編號9-0629的1959 Les Paul Standard,CC系列只有三款為由Tom Murphy舊化,分別為CC#1 CC#2與CC#13,這也是除了CC#1以外,最稀有的CC之一,非常難得。
Goldie是一支很有指標性的Les Paul Burst,這把吉他的原琴早期由知名 Les Paul Burst 收藏家 Tom Wittrock 所擁有,首次曝光是在80年代的達拉斯吉他展上,因其在眾多元年 Les Paul Burst 中擁有極為罕見的大虎紋而聲名大噪。
特選桃花心木琴身、琴頸、玫瑰木指板,以及與原琴相似的大虎紋楓木Top。原廠配置一組根據原琴上的 PAF 設計的 Burstbucker I 與 III 拾音器,這組特製的拾音器能讓音色更接近原琴上的PAF。CC#2 Goldie一直被譽為是相當復古的一款CC,中、高、低頻出力均衡、音色乾淨,延音表現出色。
Collector's Choice系列一直以來都是保值、增值的象徵,也是多數Gibson收藏家們夢寐以求收藏的系列,而近年來所有的CC皆已上漲,尤其是極少數由Tom Murphy本人親手操刀的CC#2,相較其他款CC更具有收藏價值。整體九成五新,證書配件齊全,有興趣的玩家們把握收藏機會。

From Gibson:
Launched in the spring of 2010, Gibson Custom's Collector's Choice™ '59 Les Paul series focuses on meticulous recreations of rare and specific existing examples from the extremely short run of Les Paul Standards produced in 1959.
The second model produced in this series, serial number 9-0629 (aka "Goldie") is an instrument that presents several of the most desirable aspects of these highly sought-after electric guitars. Crafted with close analysis of the original by Gibson Custom, including digital scanning and measurement from every conceivable perspective, "Goldie" totally embodies the spirit of the Collector's Choice™ series by recreating this original individual '59 Les Paul in as near-to-perfect detail as is humanly possible. As such, the instrument presents a rare opportunity for players and collectors alike: a precise reincarnation of the look, tone, and feel of one of the world's most elusive electric guitars. "Goldie" will be reproduced in strictly limited numbers, with all guitars sent to world-renowned guitar-aging artist Tom Murphy for hand aging.
"Goldie" is an exciting opportunity not only because it is such a gorgeous Les Paul, but also because its ownership is extremely well documented, with only the first few years of its existence after heading from Gibson's Kalamazoo factory to its first owner near Deer Park, Texas, remaining slightly hazy. Having resurfaced in the early '80s at one of the first Dallas guitar shows, "Goldie" has graced the collections of several noted burst aficionados including Vic Da Pra and Tom Wittrock, the guitar is currently in the care of an anonymous collector and on loan to Gibson Custom. The guitar has also been extremely well cared for in its 52 years on this planet, suffering some of the minor nicks and dings that all well-played instruments experience in half a century of use—all precisely recreated by Tom Murphy's hand aging—but no breaks, repairs, or modifications. Also, this '59 Les Paul Standard's finish has naturally mellowed to a sweet, rich, golden "unburst," a luscious deep "green lemon" amber tone at the center with just a hint of darkening around the edges, giving it a look that many collectors adore. To precisely recreate the appearance of the original in the top of Collector's Choice™ #2 1959 Les Paul "Goldie," Gibson Custom has hand selected figured maple with a broad, elegant flame and "slip matched" the two pieces to present the same degrees of depth and dimension. Hand-finished in nitrocellulose lacquer and hand aged, this top is partnered by a light one-piece mahogany back which has faded to match the original's soft, mellow reddish-brown.
The playing feel of Collector's Choice™ #2 1959 Les Paul "Goldie" is ensured by a precise analysis of the neck profile of the original 1959 Les Paul Standard upon which it is based, and its perfect recreation in the one-piece quarter-sawn mahogany neck of this Custom Shop creation. The result is a gorgeously rounded late-'50s profile that measures approximately .900" at the 1st fret and .990" at the 12th. The rosewood fingerboard is bound in vintage-accurate and aged plastic, as is the body top, and a genuine nylon 6/6 nut and vintage-style tuners with single-band green keys grace the headstock. To recreate the tone of this rare Les Paul, Gibson Custom has selected a Burstbucker 1 for the bridge position and Burstbucker 3 for the neck, a pairing that accurately reflects the mismatch in output that was often found in original PAF sets. Together, they present a woody, throaty tone from the neck, and impressive chime and clarity from the bridge. All in all, Collector's Choice™ #2 1959 Les Paul "Goldie" is a total delight in sound, feel, and appearance, and the closest many players and collectors are ever likely to get to owning an actual 52-year-old 1959 Les Paul Standard.
