The Gibson Custom Shop has achieved what many thought impossible – creating a perfect clone of the legendary 1959 Les Paul™ Standard that collectors prize above all others. This isn't merely another tribute guitar; it's the result of laser–scanned dimensions, chemically–recreated plastics, and colour–matched sunburst finishes that capture every nuance of the priceless originals. After decades of meticulous research by Custom Shop's expert team, this reissue represents their tireless quest for absolute accuracy and authenticity.
What sets this instrument apart is the Ultra Light Ageing treatment from the renowned Murphy Lab, where skilled artisans simulate decades of gentle play wear. Combined with lightly aged hardware, this finish treatment gives the guitar that unmistakable character and feel of an original Golden Era Gibson, making it the finest representation of the 1959 Les Paul Standard since Historic Reissues began over twenty–five years ago.
