This Gibson Custom Shop 1959 Les Paul Standard Reissue is built from select tonewoods, including a solid mahogany body, a figured maple top, and Indian rosewood fingerboard. Get authentic PAF tones, courtesy of CustomBucker pickups and a handwired harness with paper-in-oil capacitors. This true-to-life re-creation also boasts hide-glue construction, a long neck tenon, and vintage-style Gibson Deluxe tuners. A gorgeous thin VOS nitrocellulose lacquer finish completes this 1959 Les Paul Standard Reissue.

Cosmetics: This guitar is in great shape. It has light surface scratches throughout.

The headstock has light wear on the edges. The pickguard and the electronics plate have light scratches. The back of the neck is in great shape, and the frets show minimal wear.

The frets are in great shape with no major grooves or divots from use and it plays beautifully up and down the fretboard with no dead spots or choking out.
