2013 Gibson Custom Shop Collector’s Choice Number 7 1960 Les Paul “SHANKS” In original condition, possibly the only one in Australia with a serial number under 10, Comes with all the Case Candy & COA. Feather light 8.8lbs.
With fewer than 2,000 Les Paul’s made between 1958 and 1960, these hallowed instruments are extremely rare and valuable. A handful of transitional guitars that blend the ever evolving specs are even more prized. As the chunky, rounded neck profile of the ’59 segued into the slimmer, faster profile of the ’60 Les Paul Standard, a mere handful of fatter 50’s necked examples slipped into the new model year, and of these, the Les Paul owned by legendary music producer and songwriter John Shanks is known to be as good as it gets.

Pick up preferred from Croydon Vic but shipping can be arranged at the buyer’s cost and responsibility.
