Description

Highly recommended, high-quality used items!
We've received a recommended used '59 Les Paul, hand-picked by Ikebe staff on-site! It's a 2013 model.
Please enjoy the rich appearance created by the exquisite grain of the beautiful quilted maple and the combination with the deep indigo blue burst color!

This guitar boasts exceptional wood grain, hand-picked by Ikebe staff at the Nashville factory in 2013!
The "1959 Les Paul Reissue," the flagship of the Gibson Custom Shop Historic Collection, is loved by guitar players worldwide as the pinnacle of solid-body electric guitars! We have received a recommended high-quality used 1959 LP with a superb quilted top, carefully selected by Ikebe staff! The quilted maple, which displays a breathtaking undulation, is made from the finest quilted wood selected by Edwin Wilson himself for Japanese users during the Custom Shop Factory Tour.

The product listing history within Ikebe Musical Instruments confirms that this is a Hand Selected Model.
The Hand Selected certification has been included since around mid-2013. This particular instrument does not originally have the certificate, but it is undoubtedly a Hand Selected item, with the wood hand-selected on-site by Ikebe staff at the Gibson Nashville factory.

The beautiful quilted grain is accentuated by an indigo blue burst color! The stunning wood grain is finished with a glossy coating, resulting in a supremely luxurious model. The impressive and striking appearance is simply irresistible!

In 2013, the Historic Collection Les Paul underwent several minor changes, bringing it even closer to a vintage feel! The main changes in 2013 are as follows:

■2013 Minor Change

- Changed to New Kluson Deluxe Green Keys - Adopted Anilline Dye Finish for the back color (58, 59, 60)
- Features Custom Bucker pickups - Neck and body binding changed to a new dark cream color - Uses a truss rod without a tube, just like vintage models - Features Hide Glue Neck Fit

With the change to Custom Bucker pickups for a drier sound, as well as changes to the back color and tuning pegs, this model has a completely different feel in both sound and appearance compared to previous versions!
Combined with the adoption of the Long Stud pickups, which began to be used in the 2012 Factory Burst series in the latter half of 2012, this model represents the period when the Historic Collection Les Paul began to have a tighter sound and tone!
You can enjoy a rock-inspired sound and tone that strikes the perfect balance between tightness and richness!

Also, the included hard case changed to a brown color around this year, and the certificate of authenticity was also changed to a brown-colored one.

This is a truly exceptional Les Paul from that era, made possible only through a factory select!

We have just received a shipment of high-quality used items that we highly recommend!
There are some minor scratches, pick scratches, paint wear, and tarnishing on the parts, but none of these affect playability. Overall, it's in beautiful condition! We have performed a full maintenance and cleaning at our shop, so it's ready to use immediately.
While there are several cracks inside the three knobs other than the front volume knob, they do not currently affect or cause any problems with its use.

The neck showed a tendency to bounce upwards, so it has been leveled to align the frets. There are no issues with normal use. Approximately 85% of the fret life remains. The nut is also in good working order. The truss rod can be adjusted normally without any problems.

We have also checked the electrical system, so there are no problems with its operation.

The weight is approximately 3.89 kg. It offers a balance that makes it easy to use while producing a solid, focused sound.

Accessories include the original brown hard case, keys, certificate of authenticity, serial number tag, and pre-pack checklist.

Don't miss out on these recommended, high-quality used items that are sure to resonate with you!
