Thank you for taking the time to view this. This is a 2003 Gibson Les Paul Historic Collection that was tuned and converted by PROVISION GUITAR in Yamaguchi Prefecture over a period of approximately three years to make it as close as possible to a BURST1959, with a thorough attention to detail. I ordered this guitar with the crazy request that PROVISION GUITAR spare no time or expense to make it just like a BURST.
PROVISION GUITAR: was founded in Ube City, Yamaguchi Prefecture in 1988. Their clients include Masayoshi Yamazaki, Takuya Ohashi, Tomio Inoue, Jun Shimoyama, Yoshiyuki Sahashi, EBI, Shoichi Tomomori, and Asako Miyazaki, among others.
Body: The top material was replaced with carefully selected AAA or higher-grade hard maple, which took quite some time to find. The top curve was also made using measurement data from a real BURST. In addition, the tailpiece position and binding width were made exactly like the original using measurement data from a real BURST.
Neck: To make it closer to a BURST, the entire neck was remade using carefully selected Honduran Mahogany. Of course, the fingerboard is also made of carefully selected Brazilian Rosewood, with four options presented to choose the best one. The trapezoid position inlays were also made with great attention to detail by PROVISION GUITAR.(Just this alone costs quite a bit...) This is a brief summary of the modifications made to the guitar by PROVISION GUITAR. The modifications were done with great care and attention to detail to make it as close as possible to a BURST.
<Other details> ○Pickups: Seymour Duncan APH-2n modified Requested a famous workshop to modify it to "PAF" (with DMC covers) ○Extremely thin lacquer coating (to resemble the color of a famous Burst [9 1953]) ○Uses mostly rare DMC parts that are currently difficult to obtain ※Brass for the bridge and peg metal parts ○Two 50"s Bumblebee capacitors (wiring: vintage style)
I believe this guitar is one-of-a-kind in the world. We had it made with the utmost dedication to create a guitar that could be loved for generations, but unfortunately my child has no interest in playing guitar... And I don"t know how many years I have left to play it myself. So, I have decided to put it up for sale in hopes that someone who will play it often can enjoy it, and the guitar can find its happiness.
When I had additional modifications done at a famous workshop in Tokyo, I received words of appreciation such as "the sound is fantastic... I"ll pay a good price to get it," "it"s almost like a BURST," and "the authentic aura of the appearance is amazing."
I"ve played many Les Paul BURST replicas, including the Historic Collection, MAX, Elliot, Historic Makeover, Dave Johnson, Fullertone, BrillBate, and Saito Guitars, but I feel that this one, made with absolute sincerity, is superior.
I am planning to sell it for a limited time. Please consider it.
以下、メイクオーバーの内容 ぜひご覧ください
2004年製・Gibson レスポール"59 ヒストリック・コレクションをベースに、
山口県のPROVISION GUITARさんが約3年かけて、BURST1959に近づけるべく、
こだわり抜いてチューン&コンバージョンを施して頂いた1本です。
PROVISION GUITARさんには、時間とお金がどれだけかかっても構わないので、
とにかく徹底的にこだわり抜いてBURSTと同じにしてほしいと、
当方の酔狂にお付き合いして頂いてオーダーした1本です。
<PROVISION GUITAR>
1988年山口県宇部市に創業。ユーザーに山崎まさよし・大橋卓弥
井上富雄・下山淳・佐橋佳幸・EBI・友森昭一・宮崎朝子ほか
○ボディ
・トップ材・厳選ハードメイプル(AAA以上)に張り替え
木材を探すだけでも結構時間がかかりました。
・トップカーブもBURST計測データ使用。
※他、本物のBURST計測データを元にテールピース位置、
バインディング幅まで原器そのままに作って頂きました。
○ネック
・よりBURSTに近づけるため厳選ホンジュラス・マホガニーで、
ネックを全部作り直しました。
・もちろん指板は厳選ハカランダ(ブラジリアン・ローズウッド)
4枚のハカランダを提示して頂き最良のモノを選びました。
・ポジションのトラピゾイド・インレイもPROVISION縁の方が
こだわって製作したモノと聞きました。
(これだけでも、なかなかのお値段でした)
※PROVISIONさんのネックが屈強なため1度もロッドは回しておりません。
<他にも>
○ピックアップ:SEYMOUR DUNCAN APH-2n改
有名工房に「PAFにして!」と頼み込んでモディファイ
していただきました(*カバーDMC製)
○極薄ラッカー塗装(*有名BURST[9 1953]のカラーに似せました)
○現在入手困難DMCのパーツをほとんど使用
※ブリッジ・ペグの金属部ブラス製
○50年代・バンブルビー×②(内部配線:オールド仕様)
○フレット:ジェスカー製(*9割以上残っていると思います)
世界でたった1本のギターだと思います。孫の代まで愛せるギターをと、
徹底的にこだわって製作して頂きましたが、あいにく我が子はギターに
興味を示さず…私もあと何年ギターが弾けるか?たくさん弾いてくれる方に
譲った方がギターも幸せだろうと出品することにいたしました。
都内有名工房に追加・モディファイに出した際にも、
「出音が素晴らしい…いい値でいいから譲って」
「≒BURST」「見た目の本物感オーラもスゴい」
などの言葉を頂戴しました。
ヒスコレはもちろん、MAX・エリオット・Historic Makeover
Dave Johnson改をはじめ、国産のFullertone・ブリルベイト
SAITO GUIATRSなどなど多くのレスポールのBURSTレプリカを
弾きましたが本機が上だと感じます。
期間限定で出品したいと思っております。
ぜひ、ご検討くださいませ
*購入者には、
洋書・BURST BELIEVERS I&IIを差し上げます(2冊で程)
★重さは4.1kgです
★オリジナルはボディのみ、トップ(ハードメイプル)とネック(ホンマホ+指板ハカランダ)は、
ヒスコレ以上木材を求めて3年かけてメイクオーバーしております

コンデンサーには50年代の本物のバンブルビー×2使用です

問い合わせがございましたので、追記いたします。 ★ネックグリップ仕様:1959仕様(プロビジョンさんがお持ちの実機計測データより) →元々のヒスコレのネックよりも薄く仕上がっている感じがいたしました。 ホンマホ使用で元々のネックよりも強固・屈強、響きも俄然よくになった印象です ★プロビジョンギターによるメイクオーバー →プロビジョン担当者さまとのメールのやり取りを残しております。*掲載写真の中でも 塗装前・塗装してすぐの写真や、木材の写真はプロビジョン様撮影のものになります。 他の写真は当方の自宅で自然光で撮影した画像になります。 ★ヘッドのインレイについて 以下「」=プロビジョンさまからのメール引用: →「ロゴは新たに製作する事は出来ませんので、現状のモノを使用しての加工となります。」 (*贋作を作るワケにはいかないので…元々のヒスコレのインレイを流用にして頂きました) さらにヒスコレのシリアルナンバーをヘッド裏に刻印 (画像掲載のギブソン証明書に掲載の同シリアルナンバーです*数字ボカしております。) ★パーツについて ・DMCパーツ:テールピース・ブリッジ(ブラスサドル)PAFカバー、アイアンスタッド他 ・マシンヘッド=ブラス製(KEY"STONE 「ブラスポスト」カスタムペグ)*限定品 ・ピックガード / Hyhat-Knob(AREA59) ・50年代バンブルビーコンデンサ=(2013年ヤフオクで購入) ご検討のほど、よろしくお願い申し上げます
