Constructed with a lightweight mahogany body and a beautifully figured maple top, the 1959 Les Paul Standard Reissue has a gorgeous appearance that's sure to turn heads.

A pair of unpotted Gibson CustomBucker Alnico 3 pickups power this stunning guitar, delivering classic humbucker tones with impressive versatility and responsiveness.

Whatever you choose, these pickups pump out a phenomenal sound that can blend into any setting.
