A Double-white Dream from Gibson's Greatest Hits Collection

This Gibson Custom 1959 Les Paul Standard comes courtesy of Gibson’s Greatest Hits Collection, brandishing a unique set of specs unavailable on any of the brand’s off-the-shelf creations. What separates this model from the Les Paul pack? Crisp double-white bobbins and a AAA flame maple cap atop the mahogany body. On the opposite end, you get a comfortable mahogany neck carved into a historic 1959 Medium C Carmelita profile — a shape that replicates the feel of a real-deal 1959 Les Paul that left the Kalamazoo factory in the 1950s with a slightly thinner feel than the rest. A sleek rosewood fingerboard then caps the neck, featuring an alluring arrangement of aged cellulose trapezoid inlays, single-ply binding, and tortoiseshell dot markers. Plug in, and a duo of Custombucker humbuckers unleashes a warm, defined, and dynamic tone straight out of the late 1950s, replicating the character of Gibson’s legendary PAF pickups with surgical precision. Crowned with an era-accurate nitro lacquer finish that will gracefully age over time, this 1959 Les Paul Standard puts the most sought-after 6-string formula in Gibson history at your command.

Custombucker pickups deliver pure vintage PAF tone

Gibson’s Custombucker pickups masterfully replicate the mighty “Patent Applied For” pickups that the brand first introduced in the 1950s — pickups that forever changed the 6-string world with their rich, dynamic, and hum-canceling tone. Crafted with era-authentic components, these pickups breathe an authentic vintage voice into this 1959 Les Paul Standard. From screaming, dirt-laden lead runs to smoky, overdriven licks to pure, clean warmth, Custombucker pickups capture Gibson’s greatest golden-age tones to a T.

The call of the "Carmelita" neck

Of all the guitars in Gibson's storied history, the short run of sunburst-clad Les Pauls produced in the late 1950s and early 1960s are by far the most sought-after. These guitars have achieved a nearly mythological status, with only approximately 1,700 models made during the original production run. Given the handcrafted nature of these instruments, there are often minor discrepancies between historic examples — especially when it comes to the neck profile. To ensure the utmost authenticity, this Gibson Custom 1959 Les Paul Standard sports a mahogany neck that’s precisely carved to match one of the most famous 1959 “Bursts” of all time, “Carmelita.” This guitar’s neck clocked in slightly thinner than the fat ’50s profiles you’ll find on most 1950s-style “Bursts,” making it a superb choice for vintage Gibson devotees after a speedier (and still 100% vintage-correct) feel in their palm.

Hair-raising vintage-style hardware

One of Gibson’s many accomplishments during the 1950s was the development of the ABR-1 — the famous Tune-o-matic bridge — which allows for precise intonation of each string. The patent for this design was granted to Gibson president Ted McCarty, a fact that has never been in dispute. However, it wasn’t until more recently that McCarty’s many innovations have been fully recognized. Since then, millions of guitars have been built with variations on this theme. This Les Paul includes an ABR-1 bridge, further enhanced by a stopbar tailpiece and Kluson tuning machines.
