Gibson Les Paul Traditional 2011 Conversion To 1959 Burst

This traditional Les Paul came in with vintage correct Les Paul specs and very nice body weight and sustain, the perfect "victim" for a '59 burst conversion. The finish on this thing though was an awful cherry red on top of plain maple so we had to refinish it, this time in REAL nitro burst finish and then fade it like time would supposed to do on a real vintage Les Paul. On top of that a cryogenic shock caused the finish to crack as a real nitro finish would overexposed to cold, heat and humidity.
