Gibson Custom 1959 Les Paul Reissue 2014 VOS - FT

The 1959 Les Paul is one of the most iconic and desired instruments in guitars' world. This guitar obviously has all the new 2014 specs and is caracterized by an amazing flamed top and a beautiful Faded Tobacco finish.

About the pickups they are a set of Gibson Custom Shop Custom Buckers: they sound fat and powerfull, with lots of sustain.

The 1959 Les Paul Reissue 2014 produced today by Gibson Custom is true to all of the original instruments features and characteristics, including Gibson's traditional carved flamed maple top and solid, non-weight relieved mahogany body. The headstock veneer is made from Holly, as opposed to fiber, just like it was in 1959, and the vintage-style tulip tuners are mounted in a straight line, also as they were on the original.

The 24 ¾-inch scale length neck is made from one solid piece of mahogany, and attached to the body using a long neck tenon — one of the Les Paul’s more distinguishing characteristics of the 1950s. The neck is topped by a 22-fret rosewood fingerboard outfitted with acrylic trapezoid inlays matching the size and color of the originals.

Other historical appointments include CTS potentiometers, bumble bee capacitors, rolled crème-colored fingerboard binding, single-ply crème binding around the body, and period-correct switchwasher and jackplate.
