This stunning guitar features a handpicked AAA flame maple top with a dazzling gloss nitro finish, creating an authentic vintage look with a like-new feel. The non-weight-relieved mahogany body and elegant top binding further enhance its appeal. The mahogany neck, shaped into a substantial yet comfortable 1959 profile, ensures excellent playability. The bound 22-fret rosewood fingerboard is ideal for lightning-fast finger maneuvers. The tone of this Les Paul is driven by two unpotted Custombucker pickups, offering a warm, sweet tone reminiscent of Gibson’s original humbuckers. Additionally, this Les Paul Standard comes with top-tier hardware, including a Tune-o-matic bridge, stopbar tailpiece, and Kluson Deluxe tuning machines. Whether you’re a dedicated Kalamazoo enthusiast or aiming to complete your Les Paul collection, this Gibson Custom Dealer Select 1959 Les Paul Standard is a unique masterpiece.
