Gibson Custom 1959 50th Anniversary Les Paul Reissue Electric Guitar
The 50th Anniversary 1959 Les Paul Sunbust Reissue Electric Guitar faithfully reproduces all of the '59 specs of the original with a distinctive Burnt Wheat Burst nitrocellulose finish. The Gibson Custom shop has even captured the guitar's wireless ABR-1 bridge, bumblebee capacitors, CTS pots, and the correct materials and shape of the bridge posts and thumbwheels, truss rod cover, strap button, and pickguard.
Burnt Wheat Burst Finish
This edition of the 50th Anniversary 1959 Gibson Les Paul Sunburst features the Burnt Wheat Burst finish—a knockout version of one of the most admired bursts in Texas Blues lore. The color of this legendary burst can be referenced on page 216 of Robb Lawrence's phenomenal book, The Early Years of the Les Paul Legacy*. A narrow burst with a deep, almost tobacco hue at its edges, the 50th Anniversary 1959 Gibson Les Paul in Burnt Wheat Burst delivers a thick, sweet burst of sonic divinity. Only 25 available worldwide.
