2012 Gibson Custom Shop 1959 Les Paul Reissue VOS – Dealer Select Top – Dark Burst – Near Mint
Offered for sale is a 2012 Gibson Custom Shop 1959 Les Paul Reissue VOS in Dark Burst with a Dealer Select top. This top was hand-picked. Check out the process in the video. She's is a clean, well-preserved R9 example that presents beautifully and functions exactly as it should. There are no breaks, repairs, or structural issues.
