1959 is considered to be the golden year of Gibson Les Paul production, with less than 650 guitars manufactured, the fabled '59s found favour with the likes of Jimmy Page, Jeff Beck, Duane Allman and Eric Clapton. 2019 marks the 60th Anniversary of these iconic guitars, and to celebrate, Gibson Custom have released a series of '59 Les Paul Standards.
With a lightweight Mahogany body, this Les Paul benefits from a hand-picked figured Maple top for the ultimate tonewood partnership. Rich and super resonant it offers premium tone and timeless aesthetics, while the Royal Teaburst VOS finish looks a million dollars and really allows the wood to breathe and the natural tone to sing through. With hide glue construction, this Les Paul offers true vintage tonality.
The 1 piece Mahogany neck is topped with a crisp Rosewood fingerboard with classic Gibson Trapezoid inlays, this guitar looks every bit the real deal. With a 24.75" scale length and medium jumbo frets, it retains that classic Les Paul feel. The ABR-1 bridge and light weight tailpiece offer an authentic vintage vibe.
The defining feature of the Gibson Custom '59 Les Paul is the custom wound Gibson Custom Bucker 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.
Hand selected by Peach Guitars, these are perfect for collectors and player alike, a testament to the timeless design crafted by Les Paul all those years ago. We picked through thousands of tops and bodies at the Gibson factory in Nashville to find the lightest, most incredible examples of Gibson's wood, and the finished product does not disappoint!
