For sale is a very rare 2016 Gibson Custom Shop Standard Historic Mike McCready ‘59 Les Paul Aged, complete with its original hard-shell case and certificate of authenticity. This guitar offers a perfect combination of collector's value and exceptional playability, faithfully recreating the magic of Mike McCready's iconic 1959 Les Paul Standard.

The McCready Les Paul has become one of the most sought-after collector's items, with the limited "Aged" version, restricted to just 100 pieces, being particularly coveted. The aging process is nothing short of stunning, with every minute detail of the original meticulously replicated by Gibson Custom Shop artisans. The craftsmanship on this guitar is so precise, it blurs the line between musical instrument and artwork. In terms of sound, the guitar doesn't disappoint—its tone is pure McCready: open, direct, and slightly more aggressive than other Collector’s Choice models, making it ideal for rock. The 1959 medium neck profile provides a perfect, comfortable grip, and at an ideal weight of 8 pounds 8 ounces, the guitar feels perfectly balanced for top-tier playability.

This instrument is in excellent, super clean condition and performs flawlessly. As a factory relic, it was designed to reflect the exact look and feel of McCready’s original 1959 Les Paul, capturing an authentic vintage aura. I would confidently rate its condition at a 9.5 out of 10.
