The figuring on this beauty is incredible. Rich and super resonant it offers premium tone and timeless aesthetics, while the Faded Washed Cherry VOS Nitro finish looks a million dollars and really allows the wood to breathe and the natural tone to sing through.this Les Paul is of the highest quality. The Custom Shop do an incredible job of capturing the feel of a vintage instrument. With hide glue construction, this Les Paul offers true vintage tonality.
The solid Mahogany neck is topped with a crisp Indian Rosewood fingerboard with classic Gibson Trapezoid inlays, this guitar looks every bit the real deal. With a 24.75" scale length, 12" radius, 1.687" nut width and medium jumbo frets, it retains that classic Les Paul feel. The ABR-1 bridge and light weight stopbar offer an authentic vintage vibe.
The defining feature of the Gibson Custom '59 Les Paul is the custom wound Gibson Custom Bucker Alnico 3 pickups. According to Gibson these are some of the most historically accurate PAF clones on the market, with an ultra-rich harmonic quality; it's as close as you can get to the classic Les Paul tone.
