It’s not just a tribute – it’s a true clone of the Holy Grail of guitars.
Murphy Lab aged finish for vintage character
This reissue goes beyond simple replication with the addition of the Murphy Lab Light Aged finish. Developed by Gibson’s renowned Murphy Lab team, this finish process gives the guitar an authentic, gently worn look, simulating decades of natural play wear. The light aging process is carefully applied to the nitrocellulose lacquer, giving the guitar a character and patina reminiscent of a well-loved vintage instrument. Combined with lightly aged hardware, it delivers the unmistakable aesthetic and tactile feel of a genuine vintage Les Paul.
Custombucker Alnico 3 pickups for classic tone
The Gibson Custom 1959 Les Paul Standard Reissue VOS is equipped with Custombucker Alnico 3 pickups, specially designed to deliver the sought-after tone of the original 1959 PAF pickups. These unpotted pickups provide a warm, dynamic sound with a perfect balance of clarity and richness. You can easily switch between soaring leads or smooth, bluesy rhythms, thanks to the Custombucker pickups’ versatile range. With a three-way Switchcraft selector and paper-in-oil capacitors, you have complete control over your tone.
Premium craftsmanship and playability
Every aspect of this reissue has been crafted with exceptional attention to detail. The guitar features a comfortable '50s Rounded Medium C neck profile, offering a smooth and familiar feel for your fretting hand. The Indian rosewood fingerboard with 22 medium-jumbo frets ensures a responsive and articulate playing experience. The long tenon neck joint, secured with hide glue, enhances resonance and sustain, giving you a guitar that truly sings. From the precision of the ABR-1 bridge to the lightweight aluminium stop bar tailpiece, every component has been carefully chosen to ensure flawless performance.
