Sound Pure's Take
Condition: Used, Excellent
A paintstakingly built, historically accurate, Murphy aged, '59 Les Paul Reissue from an extremely limited run. No detail too small (Holly headstock veneer, aniline dye process) or process too antique (hot hide glue neck fit, non-tube truss rod assembly) was spared in the production of this masterful guitar. A piece of history, a collectors item, and a dang fine guitar to boot!
SP Luthier Notes: Setup confirmed
From Gibson Guitars
Gibson Custom Shop's 1959 Les Paul Standard Reissue is not just a tribute to the priceless original models -- it's a clone of them. From laser-scanned dimensions to chemically-recreated plastics to color-matched shades of sunburst, every element has been rendered in unbelievable detail. It represents the culmination of decades of work by Custom Shop's expert team -- a tireless quest to bring accuracy and authenticity to the hands of fans. It’s the definition of cool, and it's the best representation of the 1959 Les Paul Standard since the Gibson Custom Shop began making Historic Reissues over twenty-five years ago.
