The Gibson Custom Shop Dealer Select 1959 Les Paul Standard Beauty of the Burst Page 116 is a stunning recreation of the legendary guitar featured on page 116 of Beauty of the Burst. This meticulously crafted instrument captures the essence of a classic '59 Les Paul, with a Murphy Lab Heavy Aged finish that replicates decades of wear and character.
Featuring a handpicked AAA figured maple top over a lightweight mahogany back, this Les Paul delivers both visual and tonal excellence. The mahogany neck with a maple spline is shaped to a '59 V1 carve (.885" - .975") for a comfortable, vintage feel, while the rosewood fingerboard with cellulose trapezoid inlays ensures smooth playability.
Equipped with Custom Bucker Aged Alnico 3 pickups (uncovered double-aged white bobbins in the bridge), this guitar produces rich, articulate tones reminiscent of the finest '59 Bursts. The Grover kidney-button tuners, ABR-1 bridge, and lightweight aluminum stop bar maintain exceptional tuning stability and resonance.
Every detail has been meticulously re-created, from the True Historic cream binding and reissue cream pickguard to the gold top hat control knobs and historic strap button placement. Housed in a Gibson Custom Shop hardshell case, this Les Paul is a faithful tribute to one of the most iconic guitars in rock history.
