Gibson Custom Shop’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 color-matched shades of sunburst, every element has been rendered in unbelievable detail. It represents the culmination of decades of work by Custom Shop’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.

BIO; I’m a Quad, disabled guy who just loves buying new guitars even though I can no longer play…. As usual I buy way more than I sell. I enjoy passing on my good finds to others.
PICTURES: All pictures are of the actual item.
CONDITION: MINT. I cannot list as Brand New because I am NOT an authorized dealer. However, I purchased this Brand New from an authorized dealer. It is unplayed and taken out of the case only for pictures. So, you get to save several hundreds of dollars on essentially a new guitar!
CUSTOMER SATISFACTION: I strive for 100% customer satisfaction. If you have any issues with your order, please contact me and give me the opportunity to make any issues right with you.
RETURNS: This item is sold As-Described and cannot be returned unless it arrives in a condition different from how it was described or photographed. Items must be returned in original, as-shipped condition with all original packaging. Buyer pays return shipping.
