Description
Inspired by the legendary Beauty of the Burst book, this Gibson Custom Shop 1959 Les Paul Standard VOS recreates the look, feel, and tone of the iconic instruments from 1959. Featuring a figured AAA maple top paired with a mahogany body, this Les Paul delivers the rich, resonant tone and sustain that defines the '59 Burst sound.
The R9 V1 Carmelita neck profile ensures authentic vintage playability, while the rosewood fingerboard and aged cellulose trapezoid inlays add a touch of classic elegance. Under the hood, a pair of CustomBucker Alnico 3 pickups capture the warmth, clarity, and bite of a well-loved vintage Les Paul. Hand-wired with 2 volume and 2 tone controls, this guitar offers exceptional dynamic response, making it ideal for everything from smooth blues to fiery rock leads.
