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 ’59 C neck profile. It features include hide-glue construction, long neck tenon, Custombucker Alnico III pickups, and historically accurate hardware and plastics.

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.
