An icon reborn in extraordinary detail, the Gibson Custom Shop 1959 Les Paul Standard Reissue represents the pinnacle of vintage inspired electric guitar craftsmanship.

This reissue is far more than a tribute to the legendary originals. Using laser scanned dimensions, chemically recreated plastics and meticulously color matched sunburst finishes, the Custom Shop team has recreated every detail with remarkable precision. Decades of research, listening and hands on experience have resulted in what is widely regarded as the most accurate representation of a 1959 Les Paul Standard ever produced by the Gibson Custom Shop.

Finished with Light Aging, this Les Paul captures the look and feel of a well cared for original from the Gibson Golden Era. Subtle wear patterns and lightly aged hardware give the guitar an authentic broken in character, adding visual depth and a familiar played in feel straight out of the case. The result is a guitar that delivers the unmistakable vibe, tone and inspiration that made the 1959 Les Paul Standard a true benchmark in electric guitar history.

With factory light aging, it can sometimes be difficult to distinguish between intentional relic work and genuine playwear. This 2016 Les Paul, however, remains in excellent condition and has clearly been very well cared for by its previous owner. It presents beautifully and is ready for many more years of inspired playing.

Comes in a hardshell case with TFOA passport.
