The gibson custom 1959 les paul standard reissue heavy aged in slow iced tea fade is a stunning recreation of the most sought after les paul of all time. Built by the gibson custom shop with incredible attention to detail it nails every element of the original 59 from its hide glued maple top and lightweight mahogany body to the authentic medium jumbo frets and vintage correct hardware. The murphy lab heavy aged finish adds decades of road worn character giving this guitar the look feel and vibe of a true golden era icon thats been loved and played hard. This particular guitar tips the scales at just 8.42lb offering that solid les paul sustain without the weight being overwhelming. Its 50s rounded medium c neck profile is as comfortable as it is classic while the custombucker alnico 3 pickups deliver rich dynamic tones full of warmth and bite. Supplied with an aged brown lifton reissue case and certificate of authenticity this is a guitar thats every bit as inspiring to play as it is to look at.
