A recently produced Gibson Custom PSL1959LPR R-Top!
We�fve just received a Gibson Custom Shop Historic Collection Pre-Sold Limited 1959 Les Paul Reissue.
It was manufactured in 2025.
Key features of the PSL (Pre-Sold Limited) version include an R-Top made from locally sourced wood, Custom Backer pickups with Alnico 3 magnets, double classic white bobbins, and an unpotted design, as well as a Vintage Gloss Washed Cherry finish.
The body features a Vintage Gloss finish.
The texture of the vintage gloss finish feels like a middle ground between a standard gloss finish (mirror finish) and a V.O.S. (Vintage Original Spec) finish.
Some of the metal parts and finishes come close to V.O.S. or aged finishes.
R-Top Details
R-Top: This is an official designation used by Gibson�fs tonewood suppliers to describe wood that has been carefully selected specifically for the Custom Shop.
The body top on this particular instrument evokes the image of a wide �gtiger frame�h?a rare feature found on vintage Sunburst Les Paul Standards.
Since book-matched figured maple tops are standard for regular models, this may be a rare specimen that would be difficult to achieve without a special initiative like this PSL project.
Also, due to the burst coloring and vintage gloss finish, it�fs hard to fully convey in this image alone, but there are darker flecks present in key areas, running along the grain!
