Description
The Gibson Custom 1959 Les Paul Standard Reissue Light Aged in Cherry Teaburst captures one of the most revered electric guitar designs ever created with remarkable accuracy. Built by the Gibson Custom Shop it reflects decades of research into the original late 50s models from construction techniques to materials and finish. Featuring a lightweight one-piece mahogany body with a two-piece figured maple top it delivers the rich sustain warmth and clarity that define a true 59 Les Paul. The Murphy Lab light ageing adds subtle wear giving it the look and feel of a well-preserved vintage instrument. The solid mahogany neck is shaped to a 50s Rounded Medium C profile offering a substantial yet comfortable grip paired with an Indian rosewood fretboard for smooth playability. Custombucker Alnico 3 pickups provide a highly authentic tonal response from warm cleans to rich singing overdrive. With historically accurate construction methods including hide glue fit and a long tenon neck joint this reissue delivers a playing experience that feels as close as possible to an original late 50s example.
