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 laser-scanned dimensions to chemically recreated plastics to color-matched sunburst hues, every element has been rendered with an incredible level of 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 more than 25 years ago. It features extensive aging by the skilled craftsmen at the Murphy Lab. The Murphy Lab Heavy Aged finish treatment, combined with heavily aged hardware, simulates decades of heavy wear, giving it the unique character, vibe, and feel of an original example from Gibson's golden era.
