夢幻逸品2010 Gibson Custom Shop 1959 Collector's Choice #1 CC#1 "Greeny" Gary Moore Aged

Collector's Choice是原廠號稱地球上最接近真正元年Gibson的系列，將依然存在於收藏家手中的50-60年代Les Paul包括外觀、傷痕、音色、規格等完整復刻。CC琴款是多數Gibson收藏家們最夢寐以求收藏的型號，也是Gibson最頂級的復刻系列，用料與音色都經過嚴格檢驗，從使用痕跡、傷痕與木材和拾音器等都完全複製，音色可說是完全沒有缺陷，也是Gibson量產琴中收藏性最高的系列之一。

CC#1 "Greeny"是Gibson Custom於2010年發表的第一款CC，也是目前全CC系列漲幅最高、最稀有、最多玩家追捧的琴款，全球限量125支，由傳奇技師Tom Murphy操刀，復刻於已故藍調大師Gary Moore手中編號9-2208的1959 Les Paul Standard。"Greeny"被全球Les Paul愛好者們稱之為「聖杯」，這是一支傳奇並富有指標性的Les Paul Burst，起初為Peter Green擁有，在70年代時轉售給了Gary Moore，成了Gary Moore全盛時期的使用的主要琴款，後期輾轉到了Metallica吉他手Kirk Hammett手中，至今仍在Metallica的各大演唱會上演奏。Gibson在第一代的Collector's Choice系列下了很大的功夫和誠意，而早期Tom Murphy的舊化更是比後期的更加細膩，完整複製了原琴的所有規格、配色、零件與使用傷痕，就連原琴曾經斷頸修復的痕跡、背帶釘重新鑽孔的位置等也完整重現，讓整體細節都盡可能接近原琴。原廠搭配一組複製原琴K值所製造的Cutsombucker PAF，而前段與"Greeny"原琴相同，採用out-of-phase方式安裝，使中段的鼻音相當濃厚且相當有特色，這組特製的拾音器能讓音色更接近原琴上的PAF。CC系列一直以來都是保值、增值的象徵，更別說是擁有最高收藏價值的CC#1 "Greeny"，海外市場上釋出的價格皆落在台幣一百萬上下，且很難在看見販售的蹤跡。收藏品項，整體九成五新，證書上有著Gary Moore親筆簽名，配件齊全，有興趣的玩家們把握收藏機會。

售價NT$980,000，附Gibson原廠Case、證書文件與Guitar Shop Taiwan專屬保固卡。本公司商品都經過嚴格檢驗與專業調整，一年保固、免費保養與完整的售後服務，安全有保障。歡迎刷卡、分期付款。

From Gibson:

The Gibson Custom Collector's Choice™ series cracks open the greatest vaults of vintage instruments in the world, allowing players the opportunity to own replicas of one-of-a-kind historic guitars. We've contacted some of the world's most prominent collectors of rare instruments and convinced them to share their greatest prizes in this unique and unprecedented program. In embarking on this series of limited-run Collector's Choice™ instruments, Gibson Custom is starting with one of the most desirable artist guitars of all time: the legendary Les Paul once owned by Gary Moore, and now a treasured part of the Melvyn Franks collection.

While any 1958-60 Les Paul Standard is a rare and desirable guitar today, those played by major artists are even more highly prized. Given its history, the 1959 Les Paul Standard formerly owned by Thin Lizzy guitarist Gary Moore—and represented in every minutiae by the Collector's Choice™ #1 1959 Les Paul Standard—is, for many players and collectors, the Holy Grail of Les Pauls. Not only is it a stunning original example with a highly figured top and a beautiful, faded "unburst" finish, it's a guitar with a fascinating configuration, with the wiring and orientation of the neck pickup reversed to create a unique "out of phase" middle position tone. Moore purchased the guitar in the mid-'70s and played it on recordings with Thin Lizzy, including "Still in Love with You" and "Waiting for an Alibi," and afterward, as a solo artist, before retiring the '59 Les Paul and eventually selling it to British-born guitar collector Melvyn Franks in 2006.

Les Paul aficionados have long clamored for a reproduction of this legendary Les Paul, and the Collector's Choice™ #1 1959 Les Paul Standard finally nails it with two finishes: the Gary Moore Aged and Signed Edition and the VOS Melvyn Franks Edition. From the luscious deep-amber "unburst" finish on the highly figured maple top, to the reversed neck pickups (with adjustable pole pieces facing the bridge), to the missing silver inserts on the top two "Top Hat" control knobs, to the Bumble Bee tone capacitors, this Custom Shop creation embodies a guitar that collector's have lusted after for more than four decades. In addition, it captures all the historically accurate details that make a Custom Shop 1959 Les Paul the most accurate reproduction of the 'Burst ever produced. Details such as the deep-set long neck tenon, correct body top binding in the cutaway, accurate BurstBucker PAF-humbucking pick reproductions, rounded '59 neck profile, and 17-degree back-angled headstock all give this guitar the feel and tone of the real deal. Produced in strictly limited numbers, the Collector's Choice™ #1 1959 Les Paul Standard will be offered in 125 examples aged by acclaimed artisan Tom Murphy, with subsequent instruments treated to Gibson's VOS process. The aged guitars will be accompanied by a Collector's Choice™ #1 COA personally signed by British guitar legend Gary Moore while the VOS versions will be accompanied by a Collector's Choice™ #1 Melvyn Franks COA.
