Description

The Gibson Custom Shop 1959 Les Paul™ Standard Reissue isn’t just a tribute to the priceless originals—it’s a clone of them. From the laser-scanned dimensions to the chemically recreated plastics to the matching sunburst tones, every element has been rendered in incredible detail. It represents the culmination of decades of work by the Custom Shop’s expert team—a relentless quest to bring accuracy and authenticity into 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 producing Historic Reissues more than twenty-five years ago. It features a Light Aged finish crafted by the skilled craftsmen at Murphy Lab. Murphy Lab's Light Aged finish treatment, combined with lightly distressed hardware, simulates decades of natural wear, giving it the unique character, vibe and feel of an original model from Gibson's golden era.
