The Gibson Collector's Choice #01 Melvyn Franks 1959 VOS is a limited-edition electric guitar that was released by Gibson in 2010. It is part of the Collector's Choice series, which sought to recreate some of the most iconic Les Paul guitars from the 1950s and 1960s. The #01 Melvyn Franks 59 VOS is based on a 1959 Les Paul that was famously played by three different guitarists over the years: Peter Green, Gary Moore and Kirk Hammett, who is the current owner - Each of these players made significant contributions to the guitar's reputation and history, and their individual styles and techniques helped shape the sound of rock and blues music in the 1960s and beyond. This model accurately replicates the distinctive look and sound of the original guitar, thanks to its handcrafted construction and high-quality materials. The guitar features a carved maple top, a mahogany body and neck, a rosewood fretboard, and vintage-style hardware. It also has two custom-wound humbucking pickups that deliver a warm, rich tone that is perfect for blues and rock music. Rare and highly sought-after instrument. It is prized by collectors and guitar enthusiasts alike for its exceptional craftsmanship, historical significance, and distinctive sound.
