Our Take:
When the Gibson Custom Shop tells you this 1959 Les Paul Standard Reissue is a clone of the originals, they’re not just saying that. These reissues are unflinching replications of the original ’59s, in all their glory, thanks to the implementation of some unbelievable modern technologies such as laser-scanned dimensions and chemically-recreated plastics. This ’59 RI in Washed Cherry Sunburst VOS is shockingly accurate to the originals, not only in look – but in sound and playing feel as well. Gibson has said they’re the best ’59 reissues they’ve done since they began making Historic Reissues, and we’d be hard-pressed to disagree.
Gibson’s Take:
Gibson Custom Shop’s 1959 Les Paul Standard Reissue is not just a tribute to the 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.
