Stigg hand-built Les Paul Standard 1959, built in
2005. We purchased the instrument back from
the original owner who in his younger days had
many original Gibson Les Paul Standards and also
a Gibson 1958 Flying Vee. Fitted with all good
quality repro parts and Alan Dingwall's latest
hand-made Paf pickups. Plays great and sounds
very close to an original Burst but with a saving
of £250,000!

Fender Stratocaster Sonic Blue made in
1961. Brazilian finger board with the
original finish but 40 years ago it was
painted over in red. This was since
removed years ago and this may have
caused the guitar to now appear a cool
looking green. Anyway, it's a great
instrument with all original parts and
shows player wear and marks on the pick
guard. This was used as one of our
selected Poster Guitars! Comes complete
with an original Brown Tolex Case.

If you are looking for one of these guitars in the UK
without issue you are staring at upwards of around
£250k. If you are keeping it in the bedroom wardrobe
until it increases in value, all well and good.
My first one cost £290.00 in 1970. But if you can play at
a level to hold down a gig or two this could be the
guitar for you.
At a saving of at least £230k, you can own a Gibson
1953 Les Paul Gold
Top converted to a
1959 Burst. Also, this guitar sounds almost as good as an original Burst with
Alan Dingwells Pafs.
If you want it to sound as good, or even better than an original, you would
need to invest in two Pafs at a cost of £6k. If you would like a set of
original parts we have them all.
I have compared this Les Paul to many original Bursts and it sounds better
than most. Worried regarding an old wood replacement flame top? Don’t
be! Claptons Beano Burst was near new when it created history - yes, old
wood!!
This guitar is sold with a full history dating back some 40 years, plus all
details of the work carried out. Note that all parts are quality repros!
