Used – Gibson Custom Shop ’59 Les Paul Standard Reissue Gloss Orange Lemon Fade

Serial Number: #901036
Weight: 8 lbs 7 oz

Gibson Custom Shop’s 1959 Les Paul Standard Reissue is not just a tribute to the priceless original models — it’s a clone of them. From laser-scanned dimensions to chemically-recreated plastics to color-matched shades of sunburst, every element has been rendered in unbelievable detail. It represents the culmination of decades of work by Custom Shop’s expert team — a tireless quest to bring accuracy and authenticity to the hands of fans. It’s the definition of cool, and it’s the best representation of the 1959 Les Paul Standard since the Gibson Custom Shop began making Historic Reissues over twenty-five years ago.

During the Summer of 2020, we were invited to visit the Gibson Custom Shop in Nashville TN. We were forunate to hand select the woods for this particular instrument.
