The year to get.

1959 is widely considered to be the pinnacle year for Gibson's mid-century solid body electric guitars, and no 1959 Gibson model is more famous than the sunburst Les Paul Standard. At first a commercial failure, the model was eventually adopted by some the world's greatest guitarists—Jimmy Page, Duane Allman, Mike Bloomfield, Keith Richards, Eric Clapton and Billy Gibbons, to name a few. The rarity and celebrity association of the model has pushed the values of original examples into the stratosphere.

Gibson Custom's 1959 Les Paul Standard Reissue VOS electric guitar is a painstakingly accurate replica of these highly valuable guitars rendered in detail so intricate that even the chemical composition of the parts has been scientifically examined and re-engineered—and that's just one small example. Sonically, visually and tactilely, owning a 2018 Gibson Custom Shop Historic '59 Les Paul Standard is as close as one can get to owning a priceless original.

This guitar ships with a hardshell case.
