Gibson Custom 1959 Les Paul Standard Reissue VOS - Dirty Lemon

The Gibson Custom Shop 1959 Les Paul Standard Reissue is more than just a nod to one of the most revered electric guitars ever created—it's a meticulous recreation of "The Holy Grail." This instrument represents the pinnacle of decades of research, with Gibson Custom Shop experts going to extreme lengths to clone the original 1959 models. This includes everything from laser-scanning the original dimensions to recreating the plastics and perfectly color-matching the stunning Dirty Lemon sunburst finish. You get the soulful, sustain-rich foundation of a one-piece Lightweight Mahogany back paired with a gorgeous Figured Maple top, a tonewood combination that has defined rock and roll for generations. The neck is carved to an authentic '50s Rounded Medium C profile and set with a long tenon and hide glue fit for maximum vibration transfer and that signature '59 feel.

Plug it in and experience the sound of history, thanks to a pair of Custombucker Alnico III (Unpotted) pickups. These pickups are specially voiced to capture the elusive tone of the original late '50s PAF humbuckers, delivering that warm, rich, and dynamic response that is instantly recognizable. The tone is further enhanced by an accurate control assembly featuring CTS 500K audio taper potentiometers and Paper-in-Oil capacitors, all hand-wired for pure, vintage tone. The 1959 Les Paul is legendary, the choice of players like Jimmy Page, Eric Clapton, Jeff Beck, and countless others who needed a guitar with unparalleled power and feel. This Reissue is the closest you can get to owning that timeless legacy.
