Here’s a near mint 2014 Gibson Historic R9 1959 Les Paul in gloss washed cherry. This guitar has a great figured maple top and barely shows any sign being played. If I didn’t tell you it was used you would think it was brand new … 11 years later. The guitar has Custom Bucker pickups, Bumblebee caps, Kluson deluxe tuning keys and historic Lifton style case with all case candy, certificate of authenticity. Weighs in at 8 3/4 pounds of historic Gibson tone. You don’t see these in a gloss finish that often, most were VOS.
Gibson sez: “Gibson Custom’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 Gibson Custom’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 Gibson Custom began making Historic Reissues over twenty-five years ago.”
