Absolutely stunning 2016 Gibson Collectors Choice #24 "Nicky"
Arguably the most popular Collectors Choice release to date, Charles Daughtry's "Nicky" was originally introduced in 2015. It has gone on to set the benchmark in excellence in the Collectors Choice series. The 1959 Gibson Les Paul Standard is often referred to as the "Holy Grail" of iconic guitars. And this guitar is one of the finest reissues found in the series. The guitar is dated 3/14/16 by the Custom Shop.

"The Closest Thing Possible To Darling Nicky:
A Burst That Dreams Are Made Of"
Collector's Choice #24 1959 Les Paul- aka "Nicky", follows the Collector's Choice series ethos in bringing to life the favorite original '59 Burst of collector Charles Daughtry, while stepping it all up to an unprecedented new level of fanaticism for 2015 thanks to the new True Historic specifications, representing our most dedicated efforts yet to perfectly re-create the look, feel and tone of original vintage Les Paul's.
Distinct details such as a hand-matched lightly figured maple top, double-pass dish and neck carve taken from scans of the original, aged period-correct appointments taken from molecular-level analysis of the originals, an Historic truss rod, accurately measured and reproduced PAF humbuckers, and a deliciously faded wet-sanded thin-lacquer Lemon Burst finish on a carefully hand-aged guitar make this an amazing opportunity for player and collector alike.
