Gibson Custom Shop Dealer Select Hand Selected Top 1959 Les Paul Standard Reissue VOS Factory Burst
Gibson Custom Shop Dealer Select Hand-Selected Top 1959 Les Paul Standard Reissue VOS – "Factory Burst"
We are excited to announce the arrival of this 1959 Les Paul Standard Reissue (R9), featuring a top crafted from maple hand-selected by our store manager, Wada, during a visit to the Gibson factory in Nashville, Tennessee, in April 2026.
This model boasts a "Factory Burst" finish—a look inspired by original 1959 examples, characterized by vibrant, high-contrast colors and a deeper, richer burst hue toward the edges. It is also equipped with "Custombucker Unpotted" pickups, which utilize Alnico 2 magnets—the same magnets found in the Collector’s Edition Gibson 1959 Humbucker Pickup Series 2.
The construction features a stunning, hand-selected two-piece figured maple top paired with a solid mahogany back and neck, topped with a rosewood fingerboard. It incorporates authentic vintage Gibson construction methods, including hide-glue assembly, a long neck tenon, a tubeless truss rod, and long studs/anchors.
The hardware consists of nickel-plated components, including Kluson "Single Line/Single Ring" tuners, a non-wire ABR-1 bridge, an aluminum stop bar, and period-correct "Historic" spec parts. The neck features an "Authentic '59 Medium C" profile—a comfortable, substantial shape that fits naturally in the hand—complemented by Historic medium-jumbo frets for exceptional playability.
The electronics are designed to faithfully replicate vintage Gibson specifications, featuring two "Custombucker Unpotted" pickups (with Alnico 2 magnets, matching the Collector’s Edition 1959 Humbucker Series 2), CTS potentiometers with vintage-accurate taper curves, Luxe "Bumblebee" replica capacitors, and high-quality Switchcraft selector switches and output jacks. The finish is "Factory Burst"—recreating the vibrant look of the guitar as it appeared when first shipped in 1959—and features a VOS (Vintage Original Spec) treatment. The flame maple top is exceptionally beautiful.
