Description
Gibson Custom 1959 Les Paul Standard Reissue Plain Top - Beauty of the Burst Page 122 Light Aged
Step back in time with this incredible recreation of a specific piece of rock history. Based on the legendary guitar featured on page 122 of Yasuhiko Iwanade’s bible of tone, The Beauty of the ’Burst, this 1959 Les Paul Standard Reissue captures the visual and sonic essence of the original "Holy Grail" electric guitars. Unlike the flame-heavy tops often associated with '59s, this model sports a handsome "Plain Top," offering a raw, workhorse aesthetic that many purists and players prefer for its understated elegance. The "Light Aged" finish gives it the gently worn-in feel of a well-loved instrument that has seen stages and studios for decades, without the heavy distress of a relic.
Under the hood, this guitar is pure vintage spec. It is constructed with a lightweight one-piece mahogany body and a hide-glue fitted maple top, ensuring maximum resonance and sustain. The voice of this beast comes from a pair of unpotted Custombucker Alnico III pickups, widely revered as the most accurate reproduction of the original PAFs Gibson has ever made. These pickups deliver that coveted, airy top end and punchy midrange that defined the sound of rock and blues titans like Jimmy Page, Eric Clapton, and Duane Allman.
The playability is nothing short of exceptional, featuring an Authentic '59 Medium C-Shape mahogany neck that fits the hand perfectly—substantial enough for tone but comfortable for fast playing. The Indian rosewood fretboard is adorned with aged cellulose nitrate trapezoid inlays, completing the vintage look. Whether you are a collector chasing a specific page from history or a player seeking the ultimate tonal platform, this 1959 Reissue is a masterpiece of craftsmanship.
