For sale is a rare and early 1994 Gibson Custom Shop Historic ‘59 Reissue Les Paul in a stunning Heritage Cherry Sunburst Flame Top, complete with its original hard-shell case.

This exceptional Les Paul comes from the highly sought-after "good wood" era (1993–1999), known for superior craftsmanship and hand-selected tonewoods. The beautifully figured flame maple top makes this a standout piece, both sonically and visually—perfect for players and collectors alike.

The guitar has been played but remains in very good condition. There are light scratches, a few dings from regular use, some tarnish on the hardware, and minor wear on the back. These cosmetic details are consistent with a well-maintained vintage instrument and do not affect performance. I confidently rate the overall condition at 8.5 out of 10.

Importantly, everything on the guitar is original, with no cracks, repairs, or structural issues. The neck is straight, and the original frets are in excellent condition with only light wear—there's no buzzing or dead spots, and the guitar has recently been set up for optimal playability.

Please note: Gibson did not include certificates of authenticity for this model in 1994, so none is provided with the sale.

Detailed photos have been included to give you a clear and transparent view of the guitar’s condition. What you see is exactly what you’ll get—no stock photos are used.
