This Gibson Custom Shop 1959 Les Paul Standard Ocean Blue LTD Edition is a rare sight, and frankly, a dangerous one for your self-control. Built to full True Historic specifications, it delivers everything that made the original ’59s mythical: the correct dish carve, hide-glue construction, long-tenon neck joint, and period-accurate aniline-dyed nitrocellulose finish. The Ocean Blue top is a limited twist on tradition—elegant, understated, and unmistakably Custom Shop—applied with the same obsessive attention to detail you’d expect from Gibson at its very best. This LTD edition was crafted in very small numbers, making it a true collector’s piece.

Sonically, this guitar is pure late-’50s Les Paul authority. The CustomBucker Alnico III pickups are unpotted and airy, with rich harmonic bloom, woody mids, and that unmistakable elastic feel under the fingers.
The neck features a historically accurate ’59 profile with a long 24.75" scale, while the mahogany body and carved maple top provide the sustain, warmth, and punch you expect from a vintage-correct Les Paul.

If you’re after a 59 LP with genuine collector appeal and a rare finish you won’t see hanging on every wall, this limited Ocean Blue Les Paul is a very persuasive argument. It comes complete with all original Gibson case candy and hard case, ready to be played or added to a serious collection!
