This stellar Les Paul started life as 2013 R9 before being sent to Historic Makeovers for a full Deluxe makeover package. The deluxe makeover Les Pauls are about as close as it gets to the real deal; necks are reset with hide glue and shaped to an accurate "C" shape, tops carved to the correct vintage spec, brazilian rosewood fingerboard and nitrate inlays are installed, and royalite binding added. On top of this, the guitar is refinished in aniline dye and non-plasticized nitro finish. with This work was during the tenure of renowned finish expert Kim Lafleur, who sadly passed away in 2024 and is a true testament of what has made Historic Makeovers work so renowned by players. It features the original Custom Bucker pickups and includes the case and paperwork.
