The Gibson Collector's Choice #1 1959 Les Paul Standard is an exact replica of the legendary 1959 Les Paul owned by Peter Green, Gary Moore and Melvyn Franks. This guitar combines the  historically accurate details of a Custom Shop 1959 Les Paul Custom with the unique features of the "Holy Grail" like the deep-amber finished highly figured maple top, reversed neck pickups, missing silver inserts on the top two "Top Hat" control knobs and Bumble Bee tone capacitors.

The Collectors Choice #1 was made with two finish options: the Gary Moore Aged and Signed Edition and the VOS Melvyn Franks Edition. The first 125 made were aged by Tom Murphy and came with a Collector's Choice™ #1 Certificate of Authenticity personally signed by Gary Moore. The subsequent ones were finished using Gibson's VOS process and came with a Collector's Choice #1 Melvyn Franks Certificate of Authenticity.
