Haggerty’s Music presents a masterpiece - the Gibson Custom Shop 1959 Les Paul™ Standard Reissue, a recreation of the legendary “Holy Grail” of electric guitars. This isn’t just a tribute—it’s an extraordinary clone of the priceless original. Every detail, from laser-scanned dimensions to precisely color-matched sunburst shades and recreated vintage plastics, has been crafted with incredible accuracy. This guitar is the result of decades of dedication by Gibson’s Custom Shop experts, capturing the magic and authenticity of the 1959 Les Paul Standard with unmatched precision.
The reissue features Light Aging by the Murphy Lab, where skilled artisans carefully apply a Light Aged finish treatment and subtly aged hardware. This process simulates natural play wear, delivering the character, vibe, and feel of an original 1959 model straight from Gibson’s Golden Era. With its unmistakable look and feel, the Gibson Custom Shop 1959 Les Paul Standard Reissue, available at Haggerty’s Music, stands as the finest representation of this iconic model since the Custom Shop began producing Historic Reissues over twenty-five years ago.
