Our users rate Reverb
This 2018 Gibson Custom Shop 1959 Les Paul Standard Historic Reissue (Iced Tea) is a highly exclusive Chicago Music Exchange (CME) Special Order. In very good condition, it features an ultra-desirable Carmelita hand-carved neck, a stunningly figured top, and upgraded CME-wound Custombuckers for unmatched PAF tone.
No mods or repairs have been done to this instrument.
Built in collaboration with Gibson's Custom Shop, this CME-spec '59 Reissue is a dream piece for players and collectors.
- Weight: Hits the absolute sweet spot for a non-weight-relieved '59 Reissue at exactly 8.8 lbs.
- Top & Finish: Gorgeous hand-selected flame maple top finished in a stunning Iced Tea, perfectly capturing the aesthetic of a classic 'burst.
- Neck Profile: The highly sought-after Carmelita carve—a hand-carved, slightly softer '50s profile that provides supreme comfort and vintage playability.
- Frets: Outstanding condition with no fret wear, ensuring clean bending and pristine playability up and down the neck.
- Electronics: CME-wound Custombuckers deliver incredible harmonic richness, clarity, and vintage-correct PAF dynamics.
- Condition: Kept in very good condition with light, honest playwear appropriate for its age, preserving the integrity and resonance of the instrument. Some binding bleed from being played. There is some buckle wear on the back though barely noticeable.
This guitar ships with its original Gibson Custom Shop hardshell case and certificate of authenticity.
