Discover the unparalleled craftsmanship of this Gibson Custom 1959 Les Paul Standard, a meticulous reissue from the Gibson Custom Shop in Nashville, Tennessee, inspired by the legendary guitar featured on page 40 of Yasuhiko Iwanade's renowned book, The Beauty of the 'Burst: Gibson Sunburst Les Pauls from '58 to '60. This model captures the essence of the 1959 Les Paul Standard with a VOS (Vintage Original Sheen) finish that gives it a subtle, vintage patina. The handpicked AAA figured maple top, paired with an lightweight mahogany body, showcases a sunburst finish precisely color-matched to the guitar on page 40 of Beauty of the 'Burst, delivering the exact visual allure that made that specific ‘59 Burst one of the most coveted guitars in history.
