Gibson Custom Shop True Historic 1959 Les Paul Reissue - Vintage Dark Burst (2017, Excellent Condition)For sale is a beautiful 2017 Gibson Custom Shop True Historic 1959 Les Paul Reissue in Vintage Dark Burst. This is a premium example from Gibson’s obsessive Historic program — built with the same level of detail and accuracy that made the True Historic line legendary among collectors and tone chasers.True Historic ExcellenceGibson Custom Shop meticulously studied original late-1950s instruments for materials, carving techniques, and specifications. The True Historic series represents one of the closest modern recreations of a vintage '59 Burst. Even in 2017, these models retained the signature high-end features that set them apart, including labor-intensive handwork that kept production extremely limited.Key Authentic Details:Double-carved figured maple top and mahogany neck with precise vintage-accurate profiles and dishing.Hand wet-sanded nitrocellulose finish for that thin, broken-in vintage feel and look.Hide glue construction (top, neck joint, and more) for enhanced resonance and authentic tone.Reformulated vintage-spec plastics, accurate hardware, rolled fingerboard binding, and thorough factory setup.Comfortable '59 rounded neck profile with Indian rosewood fingerboard and cellulose trapezoid inlays.Custombucker humbuckers (PAF-inspired) delivering rich, dynamic, responsive tone with excellent clarity, growl, and sustain.Solid mahogany body, ABR-1 bridge, stopbar tailpiece, and vintage-style tuners.Finish: Striking Vintage Dark Burst over a nicely figured maple top — deep, moody, and full of character that photographs beautifully and develops even more charm over time.The True Historic line was known for its time-intensive processes, making these guitars far more exclusive than standard Historics. 2017 examples like this one are particularly desirable as they bridge the peak True Historic era with continued high-spec Custom Shop production.Condition & PlayabilityThis guitar is in excellent condition with light play wear, no major issues, and remains in outstanding structural shape. Recently setup with comfortable low action, perfect intonation, and plays like a dream. It offers that singing sustain, warmth, and dynamic response Les Paul players dream about.Includes the original Gibson hardshell case and any remaining paperwork/COA.History & RarityTrue Historics (primarily 2015–2016, with select 2017 production/special orders) are widely considered among the best reissues Gibson has ever made. The handcrafting and attention to vintage detail made them expensive and limited at the time — qualities that have only increased their appeal on the secondary market. Vintage Dark Burst remains a sought-after, less common variant that collectors love.Ideal for classic rock, blues, blues-rock, or any genre where you want that iconic '59 Les Paul voice without the vintage price or maintenance concerns.Serious buyers only.
