Here is a translation I made with Google : " Somewhere in Paris, 1960... A small tailor's workshop, Mr. Victor receives a client who wants a nice suit but without means, the latter offers to pay for it in kind with a superb guitar which he has recently acquired. Mr. Victor, without guitar skills, launches out and starts playing in his Parisian living room connected to the family record player. In 1968, the family decided to leave Paris and moved to the suburbs, the tailor now has his workshop in the basement in his pavilion. He no longer has time to play and the guitar therefore remains in its case at the back of a cupboard. Domont, 2022... Monsieur Victor unfortunately died, his 65-year-old son emptied the pavilion and fell on his father's guitar. Some childhood memories come to mind... He is not a guitarist but the Gibson brand is not completely unknown to him, so he decides to talk about it to a guitarist friend, who recommends our store "Guitar Village" and in particular the expertise of Laurent Murelli. The two friends take advantage of a beautiful afternoon to pay us a little visit… Gibson Les Paul Standard Burst 1960 La Parisienne At first glance, Laurent recognizes the vintage Lifton case (the reissues are not quite identical). Heart pounding, hands trembling he opens the case “taaaadaaaaaa” (those who follow us will understand) the Holy Grail! Shock …. He has in front of him a Gibson Les Paul Standard, a Burst and not just any old one: 100% original, with all the brilliance and liveliness of its red color, an absolute rarity even for him who has been selling guitars for 40 years. As if he could not believe it, the serial number confirms to him that he has in his hands a real old one: 02185, early 1960 therefore. Everything matches, the Bell Knobs buttons and not yet the Reflector version, the thin Slim Taper handle, and this red…. Of course the frets are oxidized, the mechanical buttons have disintegrated, irrefutable proof of its great age, it has only 3 strings left: since 1968, it has not been played or seen the light of day. , to our great delight, because this off-display storage has made it possible to preserve all the beauty of its original colour. Gibson Les Paul Standard Burst 1960 La ParisienneIndeed, from 1958, the Cherry Sunburst was made with an aniline red dye which disappeared very quickly when exposed to light, hence the shades Ice Tea Burst or Lemon Burst on most period models. Mid-60, the composition of the red changed, the following productions thus kept their original color better but not quite the same as our beautiful Parisian. This 02185 has kept all the warmth of its original aniline red, which makes it all the rarity. Laurent therefore brings together a team of experts in vintage guitars, Jonathan Berg Luthier and recognized expert, and Julien Landat manufacturer of Hepcat microphones. The verdict is in, it is indeed a 100% original Gibson Les Paul Standard 1960 Burst (no modifications, nothing has been tinkered with or touched up). No Grover mechanics, no glued neck, no varnish touch-ups (which would have appeared under the UV lamp), even the microphone covers have never been removed! Laurent therefore announces the cost of this type of instrument to the son of Mr. Victor. The latter in shock, cannot make the decision alone, a family council is essential before entrusting it to us.
