Description
This Gibson Custom 1959 Les Paul Standard Reissue is a stunning recreation of one of the most sought-after guitars in history, featuring a handpicked Beauty of the Burst 40 flame maple top. Finished in VOS nitrocellulose lacquer, this Les Paul embodies the legendary look, feel, and tone of a golden-era Gibson.
Built to true 1959 specs, this guitar features a solid mahogany body paired with an R9 V1 neck profile, delivering the ideal blend of vintage heft and playability. The rosewood fingerboard, aged cellulose trapezoid inlays, and tortoise shell side dots complete the historically accurate appointments.
At the heart of its tone are a set of Gibson CustomBucker pickups, loaded with unpotted Alnico 3 magnets for dynamic, vintage PAF-inspired clarity. The combination of aged nickel hardware, a lightweight stopbar tailpiece, and an ABR-1 bridge ensures sustain and resonance worthy of a true 59.
With its classic double white bobbin pickups, hand-selected flame top, and historically accurate details, this Gibson Custom 1959 Reissue is a collector-grade instrument ready for the stage or studio. Includes a Gibson Custom Shop hardshell case.
