Description
A magnificent recreation of one of the giants in the history of Gibson guitars - the '59 Les Paul Standard. This stunning Lefty features a beautiful flame top finished in a gorgeous Cherry Sunburst. All the hallmarks of this vintage reissue are present, right down to the beefy mahogany neck & a pair of superb sounding humbuckers, delivering rich, creamy tones with sustain that seems to last for days. Professionally inspected & set up by the experts at Cream City Music, so it's ready for action upon arrival.
