PRODUCT DESCRIPTION

A Gibson Custom Shop 1959 Les Paul Standard Reissue is already revered for its meticulous recreation of the iconic ’59 Burst, featuring a solid mahogany body, carved figured maple top, and period-correct hardware and electronics. When this guitar receives a full Historic Makeovers Real Deal Series transformation-especially with a Brazilian rosewood fretboard upgrade-it becomes a truly elite, vintage-authentic instrument.

Starting as a Gibson Custom Shop ’59 Les Paul Reissue, this guitar boasts a lightweight mahogany body, two-piece figured maple top, and a vintage accurate C neck profile. It features include hide-glue construction, long neck tenon, Gibson Custombucker pickups, and historically accurate hardware and plastics from the RetroSpec line of custom made parts.

The Real Deal Series from Historic Makeovers represents their most comprehensive and vintage-accurate restoration, bringing Custom Shop Les Pauls even closer to original late-’50s Bursts.
