Gibson Custom Shop - LPR59VOWCNH

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 and 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 tireless 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 crafting historic reissues over 25 years ago.
