Gibson's Custom Shop guitars are far more than copies - these beauties are some of the highest quality instruments money can buy. This Gibson Custom Shop 1959 Les Paul Standard Reissue VOS is a dead ringer for genuine '59 Les Paul, courtesy of its rich voice, classic aesthetic, and stellar playability.

Gibson went through painstaking detail to ensure that this guitar looks and plays like an authentic '59 Les Paul. Every curve, contour, and taper of Gibson's original design was studied and implemented on this reissue, giving it the feel of a well-loved vintage guitar. Gibson's luthiers even examined the chemical composition of original '59 Les Paul parts and re-engineered them to build this guitar, making it as close as one can get to the priceless original.

Not only does this Les Paul feel like a genuine old-school axe, but it has a sound that'll take you right back to Gibson's golden era. Crafted with a mahogany body and capped with a figured maple top, this reissue projects a resonant tone with warm lows and chiming highs. And, thanks to its all-mahogany '59 Medium "C" shaped neck, this guitar boasts truckloads of sustain.

Powering this gorgeous replica is a pair of Gibson CustomBucker pickups that churn out a stellar array of classic humbucker tones. These pickups are incredibly responsive - play with a delicate touch, and each note will ring out with clarity and articulation. Dig in with an abrasive pick attack, and you'll channel a top-notch rock 'n' roll growl with beefy lows, snarling mids, and biting highs.

Complete with a period-correct ABR-1 Tune-o-Matic bridge, Stopbar tailpiece, and Kluson Deluxe tuners, this Custom Shop 1959 Les Paul Standard Reissue VOS is the perfect guitar for professionals, collectors, or players chasing that coveted '59 Les Paul sound.
