Description
Gibson Custom Shop guitars are far more than just copies. These beauties are some of the highest quality instruments money can buy. This Gibson Custom 1959 Les Paul Standard Reissue VOS is a dead ringer for a genuine '59 Les Paul, and it's great for vintage guitar enthusiasts and pro players alike. Please reach out if you have any questions about this fantastic Les Paul!
The Gibson Custom Shop team went to great lengths to ensure this guitar looks and plays just like an authentic '59 Les Paul. Every curve, contour, and taper of the original design was studied, scanned, and implemented when building this reissue, resulting in a guitar that's nearly indistinguishable from a genuine '59 LP.
It's not just the looks that make this guitar special, though. Crafted with a mahogany body and a figured maple top, this reissue delivers a resonant tone with warm lows, punchy mids, and chiming highs. And, thanks to its '59 Medium "C" shaped neck, this guitar has a comfortable, old-school feel that's great for rhythm riffin', high-speed shredding, and everything in between.
Powering this gorgeous replica is a pair of Gibson CustomBucker Alnico III pickups that churn out a stellar array of classic humbucker tones. These pickups are incredibly responsive - play with a delicate touch, and each note will ring out with clarity and articulation. Dig in hard, and you'll channel a top-notch rock 'n' roll growl that's beefy and biting.
Complete with an ABR-1 Tune-o-Matic bridge, a stopbar tailpiece, and Kluson Deluxe tuners, the Gibson Custom 1959 Les Paul Standard Reissue VOS is perfect for professionals, collectors, and players chasing that coveted '59 Les Paul sound.
