This Made to Measure 1959 Les Paul Standard Reissue delivers vintage-correct feel and tone with the vibe of decades of gentle play. Finished in Sunrise Tea Burst and aged by the Murphy Lab (Ultra Light Aged), it captures the look, response, and resonance players expect from a top-tier R9. Built with a 2-piece figured maple top over lightweight mahogany, long-tenon neck joint, and unpotted Custombuckers, it’s an inspiring, dynamic ‘59 experience from clean bloom to singing sustain.
