Established in 1993, the Gibson Custom Shop is dedicated to creating the ultimate electric guitars and basses through long-cultivated high-level manufacturing techniques, an insatiable spirit of inquiry, and carefully selected materials. Even today, the Custom Shop lineup, crafted using traditional handcrafting methods and thoroughly researched vintage knowledge, boasts unparalleled craftsmanship and will become the ultimate instrument to endlessly ignite the inspiration within each player.

Based on the 2018 model, which largely follows the True Historic specifications of the ultimate reissue model released in 2015, this cutting-edge Custom Shop Les Paul Standard has been refined with even greater attention to detail. In addition to a revised color scheme for the "Les Paul MODEL" silkscreen on the headstock, which could be called its "face," the Gibson logo design has also been changed to a more original, edgy design. The inlays, including the fretboard position markers, are made of cellulose material that is naturally dark in color rather than being colored, further enhancing the overall feel.

The 1959 Les Paul's unique wood grain and color, which change depending on the angle and how the light hits it, recreates the distinctive look and playability of the old Gibson guitars from their Golden Era. While aging treatments by Murphy Lab are now standard on 1959 models, this model features a VOS finish, a low-gloss finish without weather checking. The metal parts are designed to simulate rust and tarnish, making this a must-have for those who don't like weather checking or aging treatments.

The neck shape is the "Authentic '59 Medium C-Shape," which is neither too thick nor too thin, making it suitable for modern playing styles.

It features newly installed bumblebee-type paper-oil capacitors and 500k CTS potentiometers that pursue a vintage curve. Compared to standard 500kΩ potentiometers, the high frequencies are not drastically cut even when the volume is turned down, allowing you to freely control everything from clean to overdrive sounds with just your hands. Distortion is maintained from the 10 to 6 mark, and then smoothly decreases from 6 to 1, allowing for expressive playing depending on the length of the volume control.

In terms of condition, there are a few minor scratches and some areas where the paint has become glossy, but otherwise it is in beautiful condition with minimal signs of use. Of course, there are no issues with playability, including the neck and electronics, and it is a guitar that you can enjoy for many years to come. A superb instrument that will satisfy you in both looks and sound, so don't miss this opportunity!
