Gibson 1959 Les Paul Standard Royal Tea Burst Light Aged Electric Guitar

The Gibson Custom Shop has achieved what many thought impossible – creating a perfect clone of the legendary 1959 Les Paul™ Standard that captures every nuance of the original masterpiece. This isn't merely a tribute instrument; it's the result of meticulous laser–scanned dimensions, chemically–recreated plastics, and precisely colour–matched sunburst finishes that render every element in extraordinary detail.

Representing the pinnacle of decades of dedicated work by the Custom Shop's expert craftsmen, this reissue embodies a relentless pursuit of accuracy and authenticity for discerning players. It stands as the finest representation of the 1959 Les Paul Standard since Gibson Custom Shop launched their Historic Reissues more than twenty–five years ago, truly defining what cool means in the guitar world.

The instrument features Light Ageing treatment by the skilled artisans of the Murphy Lab, where the carefully applied finish work combines with lightly aged hardware to simulate decades of natural play wear. This thoughtful ageing process imbues the guitar with the distinctive character, vibe, and feel of an authentic example from Gibson's Golden Era.
