Second Hand Gibson 1959 Les Paul In Slow Iced Tea 2013 631

The Gibson Custom Shop 1959 Les Paul Standard Reissue R9 VOS is a highly detailed recreation of one of the most celebrated electric guitars ever made. Built in 2013, this example captures the look, feel and tonal character of the original ’59 Standards, featuring a stunning Iced Tea VOS nitrocellulose lacquer finish, lightweight mahogany body and figured maple top. With vintage-correct construction, premium hardware and a pair of Custombucker Alnico III humbuckers, it delivers the expressive response, warmth and clarity associated with classic PAF-era Les Pauls.
