Chris Traynor is the guitarist of Bush, an alternative rock band playing a grungy Les Paul sound. Recently, his favorite axe, supporting his various musical activities such as a recording with Fleetwood Mac, has undergone a makeover with THP. Now, he plays his unmistakable sound on the road and in the studio on his pre-THC Dave Johnson retuned Les Paul, mounted with a full line-up of freshly launched THP.
Light-aged THP on ultra wide quilt maple. Full line-up of THP from body to head stock.
1973, the serial on head stock, is Chris' birth year. THP Rebuilt59Pegs (default on THC, not sold separately) re-assembled with vintage Kluson chassis.

Only the front volume control knob is expressly heavy-aged for an unmatched coloring.
Cream parts' varied color tones deriving from varied materials are further enhanced with aged process.
Everything from sound, looks, to parts reflect the owner's taste. This level of vintageness can only be achieved just because Gibson Historic Collection, DJ's Retuning™ and Ace's parts make such an exquisite harmony.
