amazing guitar
"The best I have played. Once you see the top in person, you will know this is one you must have. Play-ability is outstanding, super smooth and gets a wide range of the classic sounds. This is definitely a keeper in the collection."
A 5A Quilt Top Version of the Holy Grail
Gibson Custom's 1959 Les Paul Standard Reissue is not just a tribute to the priceless original models -- it's a clone of them. From laser-scanned dimensions to chemically-recreated plastics to authentic neck profiles, every element has been rendered in unbelievable detail. 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 the Gibson Custom Shop began making Historic Reissues over twenty-five years ago. This one features a 2-piece, 5A quilt maple top that simply has to be seen in person to fully appreciate.
