59 Les Paul StandardThe Holy Grail
1959 is widely considered to be the pinnacle year for Gibson’s mid-century solid body electric guitars, andno 1959 Gibson model is more famous than the sunburst Les Paul Standard. At first a commercial failure, themodel was eventually adopted by some the world’s greatest guitarists – Jimmy Page, Duane Allman, Mike
Bloomfield, Keith Richards, Eric Clapton, and Billy Gibbons, to name a few. The rarity and celebrity associationof the model has pushed the values of original examples into the stratosphere. Gibson Custom’s 1959 LesPaul Standard is a painstakingly-accurate replica of these highly-valuable guitars rendered in detail so intricatethat even the chemical composition of the parts has been scientifically examined and re-engineered – andthat’s just one small example. Sonically, visually, and tactilely, owning a 2018 Gibson Custom Historic ’59 Les
Paul Standard is as close as one can get to owning a priceless original. Available in four beautiful sunburst
variations in Gloss or VOS (vintage patina, shown) finishes. Left-handed models available as well.
