Description

The Gibson Custom Historic Series goes beyond mere replicas—each guitar is a meticulously crafted time capsule, bringing the golden era of Gibson’s solid-body electrics to life. Extensive research, precision craftsmanship, and a commitment to authenticity ensure that these guitars are as close as possible to what you would have found in a music store in 1959.

The 1959 Les Paul Standard is widely regarded as the pinnacle of Gibson’s mid-century electric guitars. Though it was initially overlooked, it later became a staple in the hands of legendary players like Jimmy Page, Duane Allman, Mike Bloomfield, Keith Richards, Eric Clapton, and Billy Gibbons. Today, original ’59 Les Pauls are among the most coveted and valuable instruments in the world.

This Gibson Custom 1959 Les Paul Standard Reissue is an uncompromising recreation of these legendary guitars, down to the finest details. From the historically accurate materials to the painstakingly recreated chemical composition of its parts, every aspect has been engineered for maximum authenticity. Sonically, visually, and physically, this is as close as you can get to owning a priceless vintage original.
