Gibson Custom 1959 Les Paul Reissue Electric Guitar
The only major change to the Les Paul Standard in 1959 was the addition of wider, fatter jumbo frets which facilitated more dramatic bends. The real force of this change was not felt until the late 1960s when rock and blues players like Eric Clapton, Mike Bloomfield, and Peter Green began to discover the fat, warm voice of the '59 Standard electric guitar. This moment in history marked the beginning of the idealization of the 1959 Les Paul Standard as the quintessential guitar in the minds of guitarists and collectors everywhere.This Limited Edition features an exact duplication of the 1959 carved top, the neck pitch set to '59 specs, and a rare Lemonburst finish selection.
