A Music Zoo x Gibson Custom Shop classic is back! This is a 1959 Les Paul Roasted Reissue with a torrefied flame maple top. Torrefied wood, also known as “roasted” wood is a process of removing excess moisture from the wood, in this case flame maple – to increase resonance and stability throughout weather changes, a healthy decrease in physical weight and a tone that’s more akin to a guitar that has aged over years to have characteristics more like our favorite vintage guitars.
For this Roasted Reissue, we went with a top that was so flamed out, we knew it would be a crime to cover it with anything but hardware so we left off the pickguard and poker chip to let every bit of figure be on full display! The guitar is also unique in that we threw in a set of underwound Burstbucker pickups with zebra bobbins. Act fast on this one, tops this insane don’t last long!
