About this listing
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. It features Ultra Light Aging by the skilled artisans of the Murphy Lab. The Murphy Lab Ultra Light Aged finish treatment, paired with lightly aged hardware, simulates decades of light play wear, giving it the unique character, vibe, and feel of an original example from the Gibson Golden Era.NECKMaterial: Solid MahoganyProfile: Authentic '59 Medium C-ShapeScale Length: 24.75"Fingerboard Material: Indian Rosewood, Hide Glue FitFingerboard Radius: 12"Number Of Frets: 22Frets: Historic Medium-JumboNut Material: NylonNut Width: 1.687"End of Board Width: 2.24"Inlays: Aged Cellulose Nitrate TrapezoidJoint: Long Tenon, Hide Glue FitBODYBody Shape: Les PaulTop: 2-Piece Figured Maple, Hide Glue FitBack: 1-Piece Lightweight MahoganyBinding: 1-Ply RoyaliteWeightRelief: NoneFinish: Nitrocellulose Lacquer; Murphy Lab Ultra Light AgedHARDWAREFinish: Nickel; Murphy Lab Light AgedTuner Plating: NickelBridge: No-Wire ABR-1Saddle Material: Nickel-plated BrassTailpiece: Lightweight Aluminum Stop BarTuning Machines: Kluson Single Line, Single RingPickguard: Laminated Cellulose Acetate ButyrateTrussRod: Authentic 1950s No-TubeTruss Rod Cover: Authentic Stepped 2-PlyControl Knobs: Butyrate Gold Top HatsSwitch Tip: Amber CatalinSwitchwasher: Silkscreened Cellulose Acetate ButyrateJack Plate Cover: Laminated Cellulose Acetate ButyrateControl Covers: Black RoyaliteStrap Buttons: AluminumMounting Rings: M69 Cellulose Acetate ButyratePickup Covers: Authentic Profile Nickel SilverELECTRONICSNeck Pickup: Custombucker Alnico III (Unpotted)Bridge Pickup: Custombucker Alnico III (Unpotted)Controls: CTS 500K Audio Taper Potentiometers, Paper-in-Oil CapacitorsPickup Selector: 3-Way SwitchcraftOutput Jack: SwitchcraftMISCELLANEOUSStrings: .010, .013, .017, .026, .036, .046Case: Brown/Pink Lifton Reissue 5-LatchAccessories: Switchplate Medallion (w/ Historic Black Plastic Cover in Case), Certificate of Authenticity Booklet, Historic Reissue Hang Tags
