Description
Gibson Custom 1959 Les Paul Standard Reissue - Beauty of the Burst #86 Heavy Aged
This isn't just a reissue; it is a piece of guitar history brought back to life. Modeled directly after the specific 1959 Les Paul Standard featured on page 86 of Yasuhiko Iwanade’s legendary book, The Beauty of the 'Burst, this instrument captures the magic of the "Holy Grail" of electric guitars. The Gibson Custom Shop has gone to painstaking lengths to recreate every nuance of the original, from the hand-selected AAA figured maple top to the chemically recreated plastics. The result is a guitar that looks, feels, and sounds like it has spent the last six decades making music history. The Heavy Aged finish by the Murphy Lab adds the final touch of authenticity, simulating decades of heavy play with realistic checking and patina that usually takes a lifetime to achieve.
Under the hood, this '59 Reissue is a tone monster. It is equipped with a pair of uncovered Custombucker Alnico III pickups featuring rare double-white bobbins—a distinctive visual and sonic hallmark of the original "Page 86" burst. These pickups deliver the airy, open, and dynamic PAF tone that defined the sound of rock and blues, famously wielded by titans like Jimmy Page, Duane Allman, and Eric Clapton. The guitar resonates with a loud, acoustic-like quality thanks to its lightweight mahogany body and hide-glue construction.
Playing this guitar is a revelation. It features the celebrated, authentic 1959 Medium C shape that many players consider the perfect neck profile. Whether you are a collector chasing the dragon of the original Burst or a player seeking the ultimate rock machine, this "Beauty of the Burst" reissue offers an experience that is virtually indistinguishable from holding a six-figure vintage original.
