About this listing
1992 Gibson Les Paul 1959 Historic Reissue Nashville, USAA superb example of Gibson’s early Historic programme, this 1992 Les Paul ’59 Reissue comes from a highly regarded period of Nashville factory production and is presented in excellent condition for the year, showing only light surface marks and honest signs of use.Finished in a striking Heritage Cherry Sunburst, the guitar features a beautifully figured AAA flame maple top over a solid mahogany body. Fit and finish are immediately impressive, reflecting the renewed attention to vintage accuracy that defined Gibson’s Historic output in the early 1990s.Built to original 1959-inspired specifications of the period, this model features an ABR-1 bridge, lightweight aluminium stop tailpiece, vintage-correct body carve and thin nitrocellulose lacquer. The slim mahogany neck is notably comfortable for a ’59 profile, with a 43mm nut width, and the frets remain in excellent condition with plenty of life remaining. The setup of this '59 is spot-on, and the guitar plays effortlessly across the board.Electronics are original throughout, with 1992-dated pots and factory-installed PAF-style humbuckers. Tonally, these pickups deliver classic late-’50s character: warm, woody lows, open and vocal midrange, and clear, articulate highs that remain sweet under gain. Dynamic and touch-sensitive, they excel at everything from expressive blues and classic rock to nuanced studio work.The guitar weighs a well-balanced 9.32 lbs.Previously owned and used by Michael Landau, this instrument is sold with a letter of authenticity confirming provenance.Original Gibson-shaped tan hard case with pink shroud included. The original pickguard is present in the case, new and unfitted.A highly desirable early Historic Les Paul, combining vintage tone, exceptional playability and documented artist ownership.
