2020 Gibson Custom Shop 1959 Les Paul Standard Reissue KILLER TOP R9 59 VOS!

Here is yet another KILLER TOP Gibson Custom Shop 1959 Les Paul Standard Reissue. This has got to be a top 5% top. It's got an incredible flame, yet still retains a very vintage look. There really aren't many bad angles on this one, and the figuring has a tremendous amount of movement that comes alive as you turn the guitar in the light.

Built in 2020, this one is aging like a fine wine. You'll notice just a touch of the light binding bleed that many collectors appreciate on these newer Gibson Custom Shop guitars which goes away as you play it.

Condition is Excellent. Other than some light pickguard scratches and perhaps a small mark or two, it's really pretty much minty. It presents exceptionally well.

This one also has a great balanced feel at just 8 lbs. 2 oz. It plays effortlessly all the way up the neck and sounds exactly like a great Les Paul should—warm, resonant, and full of sustain.

It comes complete with the original hardshell case, COA, and all the original paperwork and case candy as shown.


The Details
