Gibson Custom Shop Les Paul 1959 Standard Reissue Faded Tobacco
Les Pauls are magic. 1959 reissue connects the worlds of 1958 legendary tones and the nod to the looks of 1960 model. With a chunkier neck than the 60's slim taper, it appeals to the lover of a good old vintage feel, yet is comfortable enough to play many different styles.
Gibson Custom Shop did a terrific job on that piece. It's lightweight and resonates for days. Fret-job is spot on, with no dead-spots whatsoever. BurstBucker 1/2 pickups combo sings, delivering rich, midrange-fully tones.
There are no damages except for small dings and buckle rash in the back. The technical condition is perfect. The frets have never been replaced (nibs are untouched).
The guitar comes with the original case and tags. It does not include the Certificate of Authenticity as it has been lost by the previous owner. We confirmed with Gibson Custom Shop the authenticity of the guitar.
