The Baron - '59 Burst - from £2600

Few have the opportunity to see one up close, even less to hold and perhaps play one.

The Les Paul bursts from 1958-1960 are a thing of legend, with those originating from 1959 being some of the most highly sought after guitars on the planet, fetching upwards of £200,000.

 

At Carr, we endeavour to recreate this titan from '59, in beautiful detail, from the sweeping carved maple top to the searing PAF humbuckers it's all there, The Baron.

 

Whilst this is a basis for you to work with, as with all of our body types, you are more than welcome to customise to your hearts content from finish colour to strap lock style.

What you see here is by no means the limit.
