This Gibson Custom 1959 Les Paul Standard Reissue VOS in Washed Cherry Sunburst is brand new! Has a more revered, sought-after guitar ever existed than the 1959 Les Paul Standard? Gibson makes reissues of the 59LP in a couple of varieties these days, and while this one sports the VOS finish treatment, it did not take a trip to the Murphy Labs. The aging consists of lightly aged hardware and a dulled finish rather than the full-gloss look you'll find on USA Production Models.
This particular guitar has a bright and vibrant-looking Washed Cherry Sunburst nitrocellulose finish, with lots of fine, tight flames, on its well-bookmatched body. A 1-piece, lightweight Mahogany body helps this Les Paul weigh 8 lbs 5 oz, a decent weight for any LP.
"Gibson Custom's 1959 Les Paul Standard Reissue is not just a tribute to the priceless original models -- it's a clone of them. Every element has been rendered in unbelievable detail, from laser-scanned dimensions to chemically-recreated plastics to color-matched shades of sunburst. It represents the culmination of decades of work by Gibson Custom's expert team -- a tireless quest to bring accuracy and authenticity to the hands of fans. It’s the definition of cool, and it's the best representation of the 1959 Les Paul Standard since Gibson Custom began making Historic Reissues over twenty-five years ago."
