The Gibson Custom Shop 1959 Les Paul Standard Reissue is a painstaking recreation of the most desirable vintage Les Paul ever made. It features an exact replica 1959 neck profile, premium mahogany body and neck and a gloss nitrocellulose lacquer finish in Washed Cherry Sunburst. The Custom Shop 1959 Les Paul Standard Reissue comes equipped with custom-wound PAF humbucker pickups to provide the warm, balanced tone that defined an era. Its vintage-style tuners, ABR-1 Tune-o-matic bridge and aluminum tailpiece all work in harmony to enhance sustain. When you hold this Gibson Custom Shop 1959 Les Paul Standard Reissue, you'll understand why the original models are so coveted. Now you can experience that legendary tone and feel without the vintage price tag. The Gibson Custom Shop 1959 Les Paul Standard Reissue is crafted from the same premium mahogany and maple tonewoods as the original. Its one-piece mahogany body and one-piece mahogany neck are carefully selected and weight-matched to provide ideal resonance and playability. A nitrocellulose lacquer finish in Washed Cherry Sunburst is applied using the same multi-step process as in 1959 for stunning aesthetics. From its rounded neck profile to its trapezoid inlays, every spec of the Gibson Custom Shop 1959 Les Paul Standard Reissue is meticulously measured and recreated based on scans of multiple vintage originals. The result is a guitar that looks, sounds and feels like a priceless vintage instrument, at a fraction of the cost. The Gibson Custom Shop 1959 Les Paul Standard Reissue comes equipped with custom-wound PAF humbucker pickups made to vintage 1959 specifications. These pickups provide the warm, balanced tone that defined an era and made the Les Paul legendary. Notes are articulate and defined, with a musical bloom in the midrange and airy, open highs. The bridge pickup has a touch more output for overdrive, while the neck pickup is rich and syrupy. Master volume and tone controls let you dial in the perfect blend of clarity and girth. These custom-wound PAF humbuckers evoke the sound of rock and roll's golden age in an instant. To complete the vintage vibe, the Gibson Custom Shop 1959 Les Paul Standard Reissue features vintage-style tuners, an ABR-1 Tune-o-matic bridge and aluminum tailpiece. These hardware components work together to greatly enhance sustain and resonance. The tuners provide precise tuning stability. The Tune-o-matic bridge and tailpiece transmit string vibration efficiently into the body of the guitar. All hardware is nickel-plated to match the originals. Every component, down to the smallest screw, contributes to the Custom Shop 1959 Les Paul Standard Reissue's unparalleled tone and feel.
