| 2002 ESP Navigator N-LP-700LTD 1959 Aged Les Paul Replica Includes Documentation & Original Navigator Logo Hardshell Case $8,900.00 |
This is the one. There are no other Japanese-made Gibson Les Paul clones that can match this one. It was/is the most
expensive, most rare, copy to date known to collectors. ESP made very few of these (probably less than 20). The finish
is varnish shellac and has been aged beautifully, exactly the way a '59 should look today if kept immaculate. Features
quarter-sawn solid bookmatched flame maple top, 1-piece mahogany neck and 1-piece mahogany back. It is a light Les
Paul in comparison with others. As ESP Navigator luthiers say, "We ask the wood what it wants to be, and then create
the instrument." This one wanted to be king. This is the next best thing to the $100,000+ originals. Hands-down.
