Made to Measure Gibson 59 Les Paul Standard Lemon Burst VOS

This run of '59 Reissues have been Made to Measure for us at MGE.  We chose the best tops Gibson had available and chose the bodies that would have the best weight for our players. Get yours before they're gone!


Gibson Custom Shop's 1959 Les Paul Standard Reissue is not just a tribute to the priceless original models -- it's a clone of them. From laser-scanned dimensions to chemically-recreated plastics to color-matched shades of sunburst, every element has been rendered in unbelievable detail. It represents the culmination of decades of work by Custom Shop's expert team -- a tireless quest to bring accuracy and authenticity to the hands of fans. It’s the definition of cool, and it's the best representation of the 1959 Les Paul Standard since the Gibson Custom Shop began making Historic Reissues over twenty-five years ago.
