A remarkable Limited Edition ’59 Reissue with a rare birdseye maple top The 1959 Les Paul™ Standard has long stood as the most celebrated electric guitar of Gibson’s first Golden Age, cherished for its unmistakable voice, expressive dynamics, and undeniable presence on any stage. This Limited Edition 1959 Les Paul Standard Reissue with Birdseye Maple Top, Light Aged, Peach Tea Burst, carries that legacy forward with exceptional detail, honoring both the spirit of the original and the artistry of the Gibson Custom Shop in Nashville, Tennessee. Inspired by years of Made to Measure custom orders, every feature was chosen to reflect the experience of holding and hearing a vintage Burst that has been loved and played for decades. Its defining feature is its extraordinary birdseye maple top, hand-selected by the Made to Measure team for its dramatic figure and rare character. Under the Peach Tea Burst finish, the wood displays three-dimensional depth and swirling grain that shifts with the light, making each guitar entirely one of a kind. The top is paired with a one-piece lightweight mahogany body with no weight relief, delivering resonance and the unmistakable midrange punch that made the ’59 Les Paul Standard legendary. The body is finished in Light Aged nitrocellulose lacquer, meticulously rendered by the artisans of the Murphy Lab to replicate decades of gentle playwear. Subtle checking, softened edges, and a broken-in tactile feel evoke the vibe of a cherished original without compromising structural integrity or performance. A solid mahogany neck carved to the Authentic 1959 profile extends naturally from the long neck tenon joint, creating remarkable sustain and a smooth, confident feel in the hand. The rosewood fretboard features reissue medium jumbo frets, single ply binding, and cellulose trapezoid inlays, paired with a traditional 12 inch radius for fluid bending and expressive phrasing. The nylon nut and Kluson® Deluxe tuners contribute to the unmistakable playing character fans expect from a historic ’59 Les Paul. Electronics center on a pair of Custombucker pickups with Alnico 4 magnets. The neck pickup features a nickel cover and Double Classic White bobbins, while the bridge pickup remains uncovered and also features Double Classic White bobbins, delivering airy top end, rich bloom, and the nuanced harmonic response that defines late 50s Gibson tone. Two volume controls, two tone controls, and a three-way toggle provide classic versatility. Nickel hardware, an ABR-1 Tune-O-Matic™ bridge, original-style cream plastics, gold Top Hat knobs, and a Stop Bar tailpiece complete the period-correct presentation. Each instrument includes a Certificate of Authenticity and is housed in a Lifton™ reissue hardshell case.
