While it became the most iconic guitar in history, it wasn't a successful model when it was released (under 650 were made). But before long it was adopted by some of the world's greatest guitarists -- Jimmy Page, Keith Richards, Eric Clapton, Jeff Beck, Duane Allman, Mike Bloomfield, Billy Gibbons, Joe Perry and Slash to name a few.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe instrument was simply enchanting, from its beautiful figured maple top to its extreme sonic versatility. \"It has a deep, powerful sound and you can use it to imitate just about anything – violin, sax, cello, even a sitar,\" says Jeff Beck.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eAll these reasons and more made the 1959 Les Paul Standard the most coveted and legendary guitar on the planet, shaping sounds across music genres and generations of players. Gibson Custom Shop's 60th Anniversary 1959 Les Paul Standard is not just a tribute to those 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.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSerial #: \u003c\/b\u003eCME90016\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 8lbs 15.6oz\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eTop Material: \u003c\/b\u003e2-Piece Figured Maple, Hide Glue Fit\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eBinding Style:\u003c\/b\u003e 1-Ply Royalite\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight Relief:\u003c\/b\u003e None\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFinish: \u003c\/b\u003eNitrocellulose VOS (Vintage Patina)\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eNeck Material:\u003c\/b\u003e Solid Mahogany\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eNeck Profile: \u003c\/b\u003eAuthentic '59 Medium C-Shape\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eScale Length: \u003c\/b\u003e24.75\" \/ 62.865cm\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFingerboard Material:\u003c\/b\u003e Choice of Indian or Bolivian Rosewood, Hide Glue Fit\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFingerboard Radius:\u003c\/b\u003e 12\" \/ 304.8mm\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eNumber of Frets:\u003c\/b\u003e 22\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFrets: \u003c\/b\u003eHistoric Medium-Jumbo\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eNut Material: \u003c\/b\u003eNylon\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eNut Width:\u003c\/b\u003e 1.69\" \/ 42.85mm\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eEnd-of-Board Width:\u003c\/b\u003e 2.24\" \/ 56.89mm\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eInlays:\u003c\/b\u003e Aged Cellulose Nitrate Trapezoid\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eHardware Finish:\u003c\/b\u003e Nickel\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eBridge: \u003c\/b\u003eNo-Wire ABR-1\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eTailpiece:\u003c\/b\u003e Lightweight Aluminum Stop Bar\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eTuners: \u003c\/b\u003eKluson Single Line, Single Ring\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePick Guard: \u003c\/b\u003eLaminated Cellulose Acetate Butyrate\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eTruss Rod Cover:\u003c\/b\u003e Authentic Stepped 2-Ply\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eControl Knobs: \u003c\/b\u003eButyrate Gold Top Hats\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSwitch Tip:\u003c\/b\u003e Amber Catalin\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSwitch Washer:\u003c\/b\u003e Silkscreened Cellulose Acetate Butyrate\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eJack Plate:\u003c\/b\u003e Laminated Cellulose Acetate Butyrate\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eNeck Pickup: \u003c\/b\u003eCustombucker Alnico III (Unpotted)\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eBridge Pickup:\u003c\/b\u003e Custombucker Alnico III (Unpotted)\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eControls:\u003c\/b\u003e CTS 500K Audio Taper Potentiometers, Paper-in-Oil Capacitors\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eStrings: \u003c\/b\u003e.010, .013, .017, .026, .036, .046\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eCase:\u003c\/b\u003e Brown\/Pink Lifton Reissue 5-Latch\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eIncluded Accessories:\u003c\/b\u003e 60th Anniversary Switchplate Medallion (w\/ Historic Black Plastic Cover in Case), 60th Anniversary Certificate of Authenticity Booklet, Historic Reissue Hang Tags","brand":"Gibson","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":34301527982215,"sku":"LPR59PSL13617-CME90016","price":4924.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0343\/4368\/2183\/products\/gibson-electric-guitars-solid-body-gibson-custom-60th-anniversary-1959-les-paul-standard-factory-burst-vos-lpr59psl13617-cme90016-17216571277447.jpg?v=1645838956","url":"https:\/\/www.chicagomusicexchange.com\/en-gb\/products\/gibson-custom-60th-anniversary-1959-les-paul-standard-625226","provider":"Chicago Music Exchange","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
