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 25 years ago.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eWe just received this absolutely amazing Made 2 Measure '59 Les Paul Standard, and were immediately blown away by it.  It's a great testament to the fine craftsmanship that the Gibson Custom Shop produces.  We spec'ed this one out ourselves, and were able to pick the exact maple top used on the guitar.  Our friends at the Custom Shop provided us a selection, and we went with what we found to be the most appealing wood spread.  The flame maple is really \"tight\" and has a very expressive character to it. Being able to pick our own tops for guitar like this is a privilege.  It's something we love doing and we're proud to present this guitar.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eWe also chose to have it made with a classic VOS finish.  For the color, we went with a different take on a classic - this is Slow Iced Tea Fade.  This color and the VOS finish really makes the guitar stand out.  It came out beautifully, even better than we thought it would.  \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eFor the rest of the specs, we kept it straight traditional - the guitar has all of the feel of a '59 Les Paul, exactly as you'd expect it.  From the neck profile to every piece of hardware, the Gibson Custom Shop nails it.  The unpotted Custombucker pickups sound amazing, with all of the power, clarity and tone that made the Les Paul famous.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eThis is one of the best sounding Les Pauls we've had here - and perhaps the most visually appealing.  We know that the Custom Shop does amazing work, but we are still thoroughly impressed.  Being able to pick out the exact wood used for the top was an added bonus.  A Gibson Custom Shop '59 Les Paul Standard is hard to beat in general, and this one really rises to the top.   \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cdiv data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\n\u003cul data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\n\u003cli data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003ePart #  LPR59M2M17992\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eSerial # 9 4736\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eWeight: 8.70 lbs\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eModel: 1959 Les Paul Standard\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eFinish Package: VOS\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eFinish: Nitrocellulose Lacquer\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eColor: Slow Iced Tea Fade\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eTop: 2-Piece Figured Maple, Hide Glue Fit -
