The Gibson Custom Shop’s reissue Les Pauls are known for their great feel and authentic features that make them perfect for players and collectors alike. This pre-owned 1959 Reissue plays just like a well loved model from the golden age of Les Pauls! The carved Flame Maple top is mated to the Mahogany back for a tone and sustain that players love. The Mahogany neck is topped with a bound Rosewood fingerboard that’s inlaid with traditional Trapezoid inlays. The Faded Cherry nitrocellulose lacquer finish perfectly accentuates the chevron-like figuring of the bookmatched Maple top. Dual BurstBucker pickups are wired to traditional Gibson controls for easy access to your favorite tones. This instrument is in overall very good condition as shown in the photographs. In 1959, the Les Paul Standard made a change to wider, fatter jumbo frets which made it a more facile guitar. The significance of this change wouldn’t be felt until the late’60s when Clapton, Bloomfield, Peter Green, and other emerging guitarists discovered its warm, thick BurstBucker voice and fast, smooth and easy-playing neck. Then the Les Paul began its ascent toward ultimate icon status. Like all VOS (Vintage Original Spec) Series instruments, the 1959 Les Paul Historic Reissue is handcrafted for comfort and playability in the Gibson Custom Shop. The construction, neck profile, hardware, and electronics are period accurate, and a special nitrocellulose finish treatment gives it the patina of a gently aged vintage guitar. Includes Gibson Custom Shop case and a certificate of authenticity. 24 3/4 Scale Length. 1 11/16 Neck Width at Nut. 930 Neck Profile at Nut. 1.000 Neck Profile at 12th Fret.
