Gibson 1959 Les Paul Standard Reissue VOS Washed Cherry Sunburst

The 1959 Les Paul Standard Reissue by Gibson Custom is a meticulous recreation of the original models.  Every detail has been painstakingly reproduced, from the laser-scanned dimensions to the chemically-recreated plastics and color-matched sunburst shades.  This reissue represents the culmination of decades of work by Gibson Custom's expert team, a tireless pursuit to bring accuracy and authenticity to fans.  It's the best representation of the 1959 Les Paul Standard since Gibson Custom began making Historic Reissues over twenty-five years ago.
