Looks, tone, playability, and construction—this '59 Set Neck has it all. A rare gem and a must-have for anyone in pursuit of the ultimate set-neck guitar.
When Don Grosh and his Colorado-based team decide to go all out on a build, the results are nothing short of extraordinary. Case in point? This stunning, limited-run '59 Set Neck model, originally crafted for Wildwood Guitars in 2008. This is #2 out of 4 made.
With old-growth Korina, Brazilian rosewood, custom '59-spec humbuckers, and a breathtaking quilted maple top, this guitar is a masterclass in craftsmanship. It’s a beautiful homage to Gibson’s legacy, seamlessly blended with Don’s vision for the ultimate set-neck, twin-humbucker guitar.
The refined body silhouette balances better than a traditional LP, offering effortless upper fret access. The medium/large roundback neck profile—reminiscent of a blend between '58 and '59 LP reissues—is exceptionally comfortable. Add Don’s impeccable fretwork, and you have a guitar that’s a dream to play. (And the frets are still in pristine condition!)
Plugged in, the custom Grosh '59-spec humbuckers deliver all the punch and midrange you love from a great LP, but with enhanced clarity and depth. No muddiness—just pure, rewarding tone that feels alive whether clean or overdriven.
