Gibson's Custom Shop guitars are far more than copies - these beauties are some of the highest quality instruments money can buy. This Light Aged Gibson Custom Shop 1959 Les Paul Standard Reissue is a dead ringer for genuine '59 Les Paul, courtesy of its rich voice, classic aesthetic, and stellar playability.
Gibson went through painstaking detail to ensure that this guitar looks and plays like an authentic '59 Les Paul. Every curve, contour, and taper of Gibson's original design was studied and implemented on this reissue, giving it the feel of a well-loved vintage guitar. Featuring a Murphy Lab Light Aged cherry tea burst finish with a vintage patina, this reissue is sure to captivate an audience.
Not only does this Les Paul feel like a genuine old-school axe, but it has a sound that'll take you right back to Gibson's golden era. Crafted with a mahogany body and capped with a figured maple top, this reissue projects a resonant tone with warm lows and chiming highs. And, thanks to its all-mahogany '59 Medium "C" shaped neck, this guitar has truckloads of sustain.
Powering this gorgeous replica is a pair of Gibson CustomBucker pickups that churn out a stellar array of classic humbucker tones. These pickups are incredibly responsive - play with a delicate touch, and each note will ring out with clarity and articulation. Dig in hard, and you'll channel a rock 'n' roll growl with beefy lows, snarling mids, and biting highs.
Complete with a period-correct ABR-1 Tune-o-Matic bridge, Stopbar tailpiece, and Kluson Deluxe tuners, this Custom Shop 1959 Les Paul Standard Reissue Light Aged is the perfect guitar for professionals, collectors, or players chasing that coveted '59 Les Paul sound.
