Gibson Custom Shop Historic Select '59 Les Paul 2016, Aged Cherry Sunburst

This Gibson Custom Shop Historic Select '59 Les Paul captures many of the details that have made the original 1959 model one of the most sought-after electric guitars ever produced. Finished in Aged Cherry Sunburst, this 2016 example features a lightly aged appearance that gives it the look of a well-kept vintage instrument without decades of wear. Its flamed maple top, mahogany body, and pair of Custombumbuckers deliver the full, dynamic response expected from a late-'50s-inspired Les Paul. The Historic Select series represented some of Gibson Custom Shop's most detailed recreations of the period, with an emphasis on vintage-inspired construction and aesthetics. It's an appealing example from a series that paid close tribute to one of Gibson's most celebrated designs.
