2019 Gibson Custom Shop 1959 Les Paul Standard Reissue – 60th Anniversary – Factory Burst

An exceptional example from the celebrated Gibson Custom Shop 60th Anniversary 1959 Les Paul Standard Reissue series — widely regarded as one of the finest modern recreations of the legendary original 1959 Burst.

The 2019 60th Anniversary series represented a major step forward for Gibson Custom Shop Historic production. These instruments were developed with enormous attention to vintage correctness and detail, featuring updated top carve dimensions, more accurate binding shaping, historically refined neck profiles, improved plastics, hardware details and one of the most authentic recreations of a late ’50s Les Paul ever produced by Gibson.

Finished in a beautiful Factory Burst, this particular guitar perfectly captures the look and feel of a classic vintage Burst. The figured maple top has excellent depth and movement, with subtle and classy flame figuring that gives the instrument a true old-school vintage appearance rather than an overly flashy modern look.
