Sound Pure's Take
Condition: Used, Excellent
Produced by Gibson's Custom Shop to the most granular detail, the '59 Les Paul issue is a soup to nuts recreation of guitars that fetch hundreds of thousands of dollars on the vintage guitar market. This particular serial came from a collector we've come to know and love for the meticulous care he takes in caring for his guitars. Great playing and in great shape at a price that won't break the bank!
SP Luthier Notes: Setup and fret dress
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.
