2025 Gibson Custom Shop 1959 Les Paul Standard Reissue Vos 59 Cherry Tea Burst R9!

Here is a very recent and beautiful 2025 Gibson Custom Shop R9 in Cherry Sunburst. This one is a great example of what Gibson is doing currently with their 1959 Les Paul reissues.

The top on this guitar is really interesting. It has a tight flame but almost blister-like figuring that gives it a lot of movement and character without looking overdone. It's an attractive top.

The condition is essentially mint and it appears to be unplayed. There is zero fret wear, and everything looks exactly as it left the factory. It features the highly desirable Custombucker pickups and all the vintage-inspired specifications these R9s are known for.

This one plays effortlessly, sounds fantastic, and is a great example all around. The neck has a classic 1959 feel without being overly large, measuring 0.90" at the 1st fret and 1.00" at the 12th fret.

It comes complete with all the original case candy including the COA, paperwork, and original lacquered hardshell case.
