2015 was the 100th anniversary of Les Paul’s birth and what better way to celebrate the life of such an extraordinary visionary than with this beautiful Gibson Custom Shop True Historic Les Paul 1959 Reissue, aged by Tom Murphy. With a striking flamed maple top and mahogany body, this Les Paul is extremely resonant. It also sports two Custombucker pickups that are articulate and creamy when overdriven. The Gibson Custom Shop True Historic Les Paul 1959 Reissue also has a bone nut, Cellulose Trapezoid inlays and a Indian Rosewood fingerboard on an extremely comfortable early ’50s rounded mahogany neck. This is a special Les Paul and proves case and point why the Les Paul legacy is so prolific.
