Outstanding flame maple top, light weight, as new!The most desirable guitar ever made celebrates its 60th Anniversary.Gibson Custom Shop is the pinnacle of craftsmanship, quality, and sound excellence. Each instrument celebrates Gibson’s legacy through accuracy, authenticity and attention to detail.No specific Gibson model carries more intrigue and gravitas than the 1959 Les Paul Standard. While it became the most iconic guitar in history, it wasn’t a successful model when it was released (under 650 were made). But before long it was adopted by some of the world’s greatest guitarists — Jimmy Page, Keith Richards, Eric Clapton, Jeff Beck, Duane Allman, Mike Bloomfield, Billy Gibbons, Joe Perry and Slash to name a few.The instrument was simply enchanting, from its beautiful figured maple top to its extreme sonic versatility. “It has a deep, powerful sound and you can use it to imitate just about anything – violin, sax, cello, even a sitar,” says Jeff Beck.All these reasons and more made the 1959 Les Paul Standard the most coveted and legendary guitar on the planet, shaping sounds across music genres and generations of players. Gibson Custom Shop’s 60th Anniversary 1959 Les Paul Standard is not just a tribute to those priceless original models — it’s a clone of them. From laser-scanned dimensions to chemically-recreated plastics to color-matched shades of sunburst, every element has been rendered in unbelievable detail. It represents the culmination of decades of work by Custom Shop’s expert team — a tireless quest to bring accuracy and authenticity to the hands of fans. It’s the definition of cool, and it’s the best representation of the 1959 Les Paul Standard since the Gibson Custom Shop began making Historic Reissues over twenty-five years ago.BODYBody StyleLes PaulBody ShapeLes PaulTop2-Piece Figured Maple, Hide Glue FitBack1-Piece Lightweight MahoganyBinding1-Ply RoyaliteBody FinishNitrocellulose VOS (Vintage Patina)Weight ReliefNoneHARDWAREFinishNickelBridgeNo-Wire ABR-1Saddle MaterialNickel-plated BrassTailpieceLightweight Aluminum Stop BarTuning MachinesKluson Single Line, Single RingPickguardLaminated Cellulose Acetate ButyrateTruss RodAuthentic 1950s No-TubeTruss Rod CoverAuthentic Stepped 2-PlyControl KnobsButyrate Gold Top HatsSwitch TipAmber CatalinSwitch washerSilkscreened Cellulose Acetate ButyrateJack Plate CoverLaminated Cellulose Acetate ButyrateControl CoversBlack RoyaliteStrap ButtonsAluminumMounting RingsM69 Cellulose Acetate ButyratePickup CoversAuthentic Profile Nickel SilverELECTRONICSNeck PickupCustombucker Alnico III (Unpotted)Bridge PickupCustombucker Alnico III (Unpotted)ControlsCTS 500K Audio Taper Potentiometers, Paper-in-Oil CapacitorsPickup Selector3-Way SwitchcraftOutput JackSwitchcraftMISCELLANEOUSStrings Gauge.010, .013, .017, .026, .036, .046CaseBrown/Pink Lifton Reissue 5-LatchAccessories60th Anniversary Switchplate Medallion (w/ Historic Black Plastic Cover in Case), 60th Anniversary Certificate of Authenticity Booklet, Historic Reissue Hang Tags
