CC#39 "Minnesota Burst"是Gibson在2016年以Gibson最高規格True Historic發表的限量CC系列，全球限量300支，復刻於收藏家Andrew Raymond手中編號9-1105的1959 Les Paul Standard，"Minnesota Burst"原琴是一支琴況乾淨到令人難以置信的1959 Les Paul Standard，使用痕跡非常少，且完整保留了當年出廠的Cherry Burst配色，這是少見沒有褪色純淨的Burst，目前由私人收藏家Andrew Raymond擁有，而原琴有著音色稍微不平衡的拾音器，而導致音色有著獨特的中頻、清晰的高頻，而低頻保持了經典的"woman tone"。為了複製出這種獨特音色，Gibson Custom透過手工纏繞了一組CustomBucker拾音器，完美了複製了原琴的PAF。琴重只有3.67KG，達到了完美的重量與音色平衡。全新收藏品，CC#39新品訂價為美金$11,499，台幣約三十五萬，值得一提的是，此琴序號為前十號，眾所皆知，舊化琴款號碼越少，做工會越細膩，在市場上也較有價值。整體九成新，Frets約剩80%，配件齊全。Guitar Shop Taiwan團隊更嚴格挑選的品質，更划算的價格，有興趣的玩家把握機會。

From Gibson:

A classic example of the ever elusive "closet find", this incredibly clean example of an original 1959 Les Paul Standard was brought to a dealer in Minnesota by its original owner where it was soon sold to a private collector. It wasn't long after that the guitar made waves through the vintage collector community as one of the more pristine original Bursts to re-appear out of obscurity. Now owned by Andrew Raymond of the UK, it remains a well cared-for and exceptional guitar with much of its original color intact, very little wear, and a top that exemplifies the word "flame": deep, moving, pronounced and consistent from side-to-side. "Minnesota Burst's" neck feel is beefy, with mid-'59 cheek and a substantial, playable feel that eases into your hand. For tone, its slightly off-balance pickups exhibit a unique mid-tone that's dark and sweet, while the highs cut through for clarity and the lows maintain that classic "woman tone" that barks beautifully with aggressive string attack and purrs when you back off.

Collector's Choice #39, the Andrew Raymond 1959 Les Paul Standard "Minnesota Burst", nicknamed for the state in which it was rediscovered, will be offered in a very limited run based on the difficulty of sourcing its specific top character. Every aspect of the guitar's look, feel and tone are hand crafted after extensive hands-on analysis and measurement of the original, to deliver a guitar that's as close as possible to owning the real thing.
