The combination of a carved maple top, mahogany body, powerful humbuckers, and an incredibly responsive neck has made the ’59 Standard the benchmark by which virtually every other solidbody electric guitar is measured. This \u003cstrong\u003eLimited Edition 1959 Les Paul Standard Reissue\u003c\/strong\u003e takes that legendary formula and adds the kind of attention to detail you expect from the Gibson Custom Shop.\u003cspan class=\"PDq2pG_selectionAnchor\"\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe first thing you'll notice is that gorgeous \u003cstrong\u003eFaded Peach Burst\u003c\/strong\u003e over a hand-selected \u003cstrong\u003eAAA figured maple top\u003c\/strong\u003e. The figuring on these guitars is chosen for its individual character, so every one has its own personality. Underneath that beautiful top is a \u003cstrong\u003elightweight, one-piece solid mahogany body with no weight relief\u003c\/strong\u003e. That's exactly the kind of construction you want in a ’59 reissue, giving the guitar the resonance, sustain, and dynamic response that have made the original guitars so revered.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThen there's the aging. This is a \u003cstrong\u003eHeavy Aged\u003c\/strong\u003e instrument, with the finish work handled by the \u003cstrong\u003eMurphy Lab\u003c\/strong\u003e. The lacquer checking, softened edges, and worn areas give the guitar the feel of an instrument that has spent decades being played rather than something that just rolled out of a factory yesterday. More importantly, the aging is beautifully integrated into the guitar rather than simply looking like somebody attacked a new Les Paul with a belt buckle.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe \u003cstrong\u003emahogany neck\u003c\/strong\u003e features Gibson's \u003cstrong\u003eAuthentic 1959 profile\u003c\/strong\u003e and a \u003cstrong\u003elong neck tenon\u003c\/strong\u003e, giving you that substantial, unmistakably vintage-inspired feel along with a solid neck-to-body connection. The \u003cstrong\u003erosewood fingerboard\u003c\/strong\u003e has a \u003cstrong\u003e12\" radius\u003c\/strong\u003e, reissue medium jumbo frets, single-ply binding, and classic cellulose trapezoid inlays. A period-correct \u003cstrong\u003enylon nut\u003c\/strong\u003e completes the vintage-style setup.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eUnder the hood, Gibson has gone with a pair of \u003cstrong\u003eCustombucker Alnico 4 pickups\u003c\/strong\u003e with \u003cstrong\u003eDouble Classic White bobbins\u003c\/strong\u003e and aged nickel covers. Alnico 4 is a particularly nice choice here, giving these pickups a wonderfully balanced vintage voice with plenty of harmonic complexity, sweetness, and dynamic response. They have that familiar late-’50s PAF character where the guitar seems to respond to \u003cem\u003ehow\u003c\/em\u003e you play as much as to what you're playing.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eRoll the volume back and they clean up beautifully. Dig in and they become muscular and vocal, with plenty of sustain and harmonic bloom. With \u003cstrong\u003etwo volume controls, two tone controls, and a three-way toggle\u003c\/strong\u003e, you've got the full range of classic Les Paul tones at your fingertips.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe hardware follows the same philosophy. An \u003cstrong\u003eABR-1 Tune-O-Matic bridge\u003c\/strong\u003e and \u003cstrong\u003eStop Bar tailpiece\u003c\/strong\u003e are finished in aged nickel, while \u003cstrong\u003eKluson Deluxe tuners\u003c\/strong\u003e, cream plastics, and gold Top Hat knobs complete the period-inspired look. Everything works together to make this feel less like a modern recreation and more like a beautifully preserved piece of Gibson's Golden Era.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis is a \u003cstrong\u003eLimited Edition\u003c\/strong\u003e Gibson Custom instrument, produced in a small-batch run and built with the kind of attention to detail that has made the Custom Shop's most historically accurate Les Pauls so desirable.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIt includes the \u003cstrong\u003eoriginal Lifton reissue hardshell case and Certificate of Authenticity\u003c\/strong\u003e.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eIf you've ever wondered what makes a great ’59 Les Paul so special, this guitar gives you a pretty compelling answer.\u003c\/strong\u003e The lightweight one-piece mahogany body, spectacular figured maple top, Authentic 1959 neck, Custombucker Alnico 4 pickups, and beautifully executed Heavy Aged finish all come together in one seriously impressive Les Paul.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch5\u003eSpecs\u003c\/h5\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eGibson Custom Shop\u003cbr\u003eLimited Edition\u003cbr\u003e1959 Les Paul Standard Reissue\u003cbr\u003eFaded Peach Burst\u003cbr\u003eMurphy Lab Heavy Aged\u003cbr\u003eWeighs 8 lbs 7 oz\u003cbr\u003eHandpicked AAA Flame Maple Top\u003cbr\u003eMahogany Body Material\u003cbr\u003eAuthentic 1959 Neck Profile\u003cbr\u003eLong Neck Tenon\u003cbr\u003eMahogany Neck Material\u003cbr\u003eRosewood Fingerboard - Bound\u003cbr\u003e12\" Fingerboard Radius\u003cbr\u003e22 x Medium Jumbo Frets\u003cbr\u003eNylon Nut Material\u003cbr\u003e24.75\" Scale Length\u003cbr\u003eCustombucker Alnico 4 Pickups\u003cbr\u003e2 x Volume Controls\u003cbr\u003e2 x Tone Controls\u003cbr\u003e3 Way Pickup Toggle Switch\u003cbr\u003eABR-1 Tune-O-Matic Bridge\u003cbr\u003eAluminum Tailpiece\u003cbr\u003eCertificate of Authenticity\u003cbr\u003eOriginal Hardshell Case\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Gibson","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":53482214523177,"sku":"961780","price":8999.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0013\/6111\/7231\/files\/DSC7982.jpg?v=1788628349","url":"https:\/\/musicgalleryinc.com\/products\/gibson-custom-59-les-paul-standard-murphy-lab-heavy-aged-in-faded-peach-burst-961780","provider":"The Music Gallery","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
