At the heart of the Gibson Custom Shop’s 1959 Les Paul Standard Reissue lies a meticulous dedication to authenticity. This instrument is a testament to the intricate craftsmanship and technological precision, which brings an iconic era of music back to the hands of modern players.
Starting from the top, the guitar features a two-piece flamed maple, known for its distinctive grain and resonance. This is paired with a one-piece lightweight solid mahogany back and sides, offering a warm, sustained tonality. The neck, made of mahogany and complemented by an Indian rosewood fingerboard, carries the signature 50s rounded medium C profile, providing a comfortable and familiar feel.
Cellulose nitrate trapezoid inlays grace the fingerboard, a material known for its visual appeal and vintage authenticity. The 24.75″ scale length is a nod to the traditional Les Paul specifications, ensuring a playing experience true to its historic counterpart.
From an electronics perspective, the Custombucker Alnico III pickups, both unpotted at the bridge and neck, deliver a sound profile that’s both rich and faithful to the original 1959 design. Paired with CTS 500K audio taper potentiometers and paper-in-oil capacitors, the guitar offers an unparalleled clarity and tonal range.
The instrument’s finish is the Iced Tea Burst, applied with nitrocellulose lacquer, paired with a VOS treatment for a slightly aged appearance without the wear. Every aspect, from the Kluson Single Line, Single Ring tuning machines to the laminated cellulose acetate butyrate pickguard, jack plate cover, and mounting rings, showcases Gibson’s commitment to detail.
