The Gibson Custom Shop PSL '59 Les Paul Standard Reissue VOS in Sunrise Tea Burst captures the timeless character of a late 1950s Les Paul through meticulous vintage-inspired construction and carefully selected materials. Its classic single-cut body features a one-piece lightweight mahogany back with no weight relief, paired with a two-piece hand-selected AAA figured maple top fitted using hide glue. The body is finished in nitrocellulose lacquer with a VOS vintage patina, allowing the rich Sunrise Tea Burst finish and natural figure of the maple to shine with an understated, aged elegance. A single-ply Royalite binding completes the body, while the guitar weighs 8 lbs 12 oz.
The solid mahogany neck features the 1959 Authentic Medium profile, measuring .860" at the first fret and .975" at the 12th fret, providing the substantial yet comfortable feel associated with the era. Its Indian rosewood fingerboard has a 12" radius, 22 historic medium-jumbo frets, cellulose nitrate trapezoid inlays, and a 24.75" scale length. A nylon nut measures 1.687" wide, expanding to 2.239" at the end of the fingerboard. The long-tenon neck joint is fitted with hide glue, while the authentic 1950s no-tube truss rod and stepped two-ply truss rod cover further reinforce the instrument's historically focused construction.
The guitar is equipped with a pair of unpotted Custombucker Alnico III pickups, delivering an open and responsive vintage voice with the natural dynamics associated with classic PAF-style humbuckers. Independent volume and tone controls use CTS 500K audio taper potentiometers and paper-in-oil capacitors, with a three-way Switchcraft pickup selector and Switchcraft output jack providing familiar and reliable control. The hardware includes a nickel-finished ABR-1 bridge with nickel-plated brass saddles and a lightweight aluminum stop bar, while authentic-profile nickel-silver pickup covers preserve the traditional appearance and character.
Every detail contributes to the period-inspired presentation, from the Kluson Single Line, Single Ring tuners and laminated cellulose acetate butyrate pickguard to the M69 mounting rings, black Royalite control covers, gold butyrate Top Hat knobs, amber Catalin switch tip, replica cellulose acetate butyrate switchwasher, laminated jack plate cover, and aluminum strap buttons. The guitar comes strung with .010 to .046 gauge strings and includes a brown and pink reissue five-latch case along with its Certificate of Authenticity. Identified by serial number LPR59PSL000000587, this PSL '59 brings together lightweight mahogany, hand-selected figured maple, a substantial 1959 neck profile, hide glue construction, and unpotted Custombucker Alnico III pickups to create a deeply authentic and beautifully finished interpretation of a legendary Les Paul.
