Gibson Custom 1959 Les Paul Standard Reissue VOS - Dirty Lemon Burst

The Gibson Custom Shop 1959 Les Paul Standard VOS in Dirty Lemon Burst is a stunning recreation of the most iconic electric guitar ever made, offering the tone, feel, and look of a true vintage ’59 Burst. Crafted with a beautifully figured maple top and a solid mahogany body, this R9 features period-correct hide glue construction, narrow/tall frets, and a long neck tenon for maximum resonance and sustain. The Dirty Lemon Burst finish, aged with Gibson’s Vintage Original Spec (VOS) treatment, gives it an authentic, slightly worn-in patina that captures the soul of a well-loved classic. The chunky ’59 neck profile, paired with a dark rosewood fingerboard, delivers exceptional playability and a rich tonal foundation. Equipped with CustomBucker Alnico III pickups, this guitar delivers the legendary PAF-style tone—articulate, warm, and harmonically complex. A vintage-style hardshell case and Certificate of Authenticity complete this collector-grade instrument, making it a top-tier choice for serious players and aficionados alike.
