The specialist's opinion
Some guitars go beyond mere instrument status to become true legends.
The Gibson Custom 1959 Les Paul Standard Reissue VOS is the epitome of this.
More than a tribute, it's an exceptionally faithful recreation, designed to recapture all the magic of the mythical 1959 Bursts.
Every detail has been reproduced with remarkable precision: dimensions derived from laser scans of the original models, plastics recreated according to historic formulations, meticulously matched sunburst shades and finishes respecting the aesthetics of the world's most sought-after vintage instruments.
Its construction combines a select mahogany body with a figured maple top, delivering that distinctive acoustic response: deep lows, singing mids and highs of harmonic depth. The 1959-profile neck provides a full, natural and incredibly inspiring grip.
Equipped with carefully calibrated Custombucker pickups and traditional wiring, this Les Paul delivers all the warmth, dynamics and harmonic complexity that have made this model legendary.
The VOS (Vintage Original Spec) finish gives it the subtly weathered appearance of an instrument preciously preserved for over sixty years.
An exceptional Guitar, designed for enthusiasts, collectors and all those who seek the very essence of the Les Paul myth.
