The Gibson Custom Shop 1959 Les Paul Standard Reissue is more than a guitar—it’s a piece of history, meticulously crafted to capture the magic of the original ’59 Burst. With a one-piece mahogany body, hand-selected figured maple top, and hot hide glue construction, this reissue delivers the resonance, sustain, and vintage character that made the original legendary. The hand-shaped ’59 neck profile feels substantial yet comfortable, while the Custom Bucker pickups recreate the unmistakable warmth, clarity, and bite of the original PAFs. Whether you’re after rich, articulate cleans or searing, harmonically rich overdrive, this guitar delivers authentic vintage tone with unmatched precision.
Every detail, from the aniline-dyed finish to the lightweight aluminum stop tailpiece, reflects Gibson’s commitment to historical accuracy. Finished in thin nitrocellulose lacquer, the guitar breathes and ages naturally, just like a true vintage Burst. This isn’t just an instrument—it’s an investment in craftsmanship, sound, and legacy. Whether you’re a collector, a working musician, or a tone purist, the 1959 Les Paul Standard Reissue is your gateway to the golden age of electric guitars.
