2004 Gibson Custom 1959 Les Paul Standard VOS – Bourbon Burst

Just in on consignment from the original owner, this 2004 Gibson Custom Shop 1959 Les Paul Standard VOS is a wonderfully dialed-in example of a classic R9 with all the right specs. Finished in a rich Bourbon Burst, it nails a well loved Custom Shop look while still presenting exceptionally clean for its age. The guitar has clearly been well cared for, showing only a few small dents and dings (pictured) along with some light topcoat swirl and pickwear. Even more impressive, the frets show virtually no wear, making this one feel every bit as good as it looks.

This R9 currently sports a set of Seymour Duncan Antiquities, delivering open, woody PAF-style tone with a touch of sweetness on top. Included with the sale is the original factory-installed DiMarzio Virtual PAF “Double Cream” pickup set that shipped with the guitar when new in 2004, giving you both tonal flavors in one package. With Custom Shop build quality, a comfortable late-’50s neck carve, and coming in at a perfectly balanced 9-pound weight, this is a standout Les Paul that’s ready for stage, studio, or collection duty.
