Unboxing the Holy Grail Guitar Today! Gibson 1959 Les Paul (Tom Bukovac loved it!)

[@Kurtis-Schubert]

Thanks for sharing. Wow! Custom order. Great choices. The top on it is awesome! It would be amazing if they made a signature model of yours like that. I would want one. I would tell my wife I needed one to match Corker, our orange tiger cat. Really happy to be a Guitar Wisdom subscriber. Have a nice weekend.

[@TomoFujitaMusic]

You're very welcome! Yes! This way I could choose very specific about all the details includes the light weight. Thank you so much!

[@SMarcey]

Back in the hey day of rock n roll it was the players in bands that were not just the heroes but the teachers of new aspiring players around the world for guitar players. These days its almost impossible to deny the similarity between them and people like yourself and Rick Beato or Marty Schwartz and the litany of other KZbin guitarists we've come to know and love. KZbin is the place where we go to indulge our love of music in so many ways not the least of which is in the capacity to learn something new on the guitar. There are so many players that can thank folks like you for their progress in their personal guitar playing journey that it truly warms my heart to know that the folks at Gibson or Fender or really any major guitar brand recognize your importance to the world of guitar and have done their best to reach out and take care of you any way they can.

[@TomoFujitaMusic]

Thank you for sharing! I am playing with Marty tonight in Nashville. I love KZbin... nice place share my love! GUITAR & GUITAR PLAYING! Thank you so much!

[@georgiandme]

Amazing to finally see one of my favorite guitarists on KZbin with a Les Paul! I’ve had a crush with Gibsons since I started playing guitars and I bought, sold and traded quite a few Les Pauls. Custom ordering is the best way to get exactly what you want. My favorite Les Paul is a pretty heavy R7 from 1993 that is 4.5kg. My other favorite Les Paul is actually a 594 10 Top singlecut from PRS that weighs only 3.65kg 🎸

[@TomoFujitaMusic]

Thank you so much! I love this guitar! 7.88

[@zaidnoaman1638]

Earlier this year I bought a 1957 reissue from the Murphy lab in Goldtop and I have to say props to Gibson Custom Shop for making an exquisite piece of equipment. Congrats Tomo on your new guitar!

[@TomoFujitaMusic]

Awesome! They so REALLY amazing! Thank you so much! I love it!

[@lanningwk88]

Based on 90% of the bursts I've seen in pictures and the two I've seen in real life... that top is so much more accurate for a 59 than most of the R9s. If I ever have the money to do a custom build, it'll take a 4 second phone call to the custom shop because I'll just have to say "Give me the Tomo Fujita". Congrats on an excellent piece.

[@TomoFujitaMusic]

Thank you so much! I collected many photos from real 1959 Les Paul Burst and I sent those to Gibson and we had many zoom meeting about my top! I was very picky about that color choice. Thank you! I think a few people already did that. Tomo Dirty Lemon R9

Hi. Beautiful guitar. Can’t wait to hear you play it.. Can I ask what wood did Gibson used to make the body lighter without chambering or any weight relief holes… thanks

Thank you so much! Custom Shop team carefully to choose lighter wood for me. That's why I really had to order as custom order. 7.88! Love it!

[@thep2pband]

I bought one too. The most I've ever paid for a guitar. Got lucky and found one used from a guy locally. He decided to let it go. He was a Tele guy. Saved me some money and while it wasn't exactly like I would custom order, it was close enough, Ice tea burst with a slight chevron and lots of movement in the flame. Anyway, point is, it feels and sounds right. I'm happy to see someone like you (and Uncle Larry) diggin this model. I was scared to buy it, but really happy I did, Can't stop playing it. Good choice!!!
