Gibson Custom Shop 1959 Les Paul Standard Bordeaux Purple Gloss (219)

The Gibson Custom Shop 1959 Les Paul Standard Reissue in Bordeaux Purple Gloss pairs the legendary specifications of a '59 Burst with a striking, non-standard Custom Shop finish. Built with a hand-selected AAA figured maple top over a lightweight one-piece mahogany body, this guitar delivers the exceptional sustain, warmth, and dynamic response that have made the 1959 Les Paul one of the most sought-after electric guitars ever produced. The rich Bordeaux Purple Gloss finish highlights the figured maple top while extending to the back, sides, and neck, creating a bold, elegant look rarely seen on a Historic Reissue. A comfortable 1959 V1 Authentic Medium "Carmelita" neck profile, Indian rosewood fingerboard, and historically accurate construction provide the unmistakable feel of a great late-'50s Les Paul.

Loaded with a pair of Custombucker Alnico III humbuckers, this Les Paul delivers everything players expect from a vintage-inspired Burst—warm, articulate cleans, rich harmonic complexity, dynamic midrange, and singing sustain. Luxe Bumblebee capacitors, vintage-style wiring, and historically accurate hardware complete an instrument that combines authentic '50s tone with an eye-catching Custom Shop-exclusive finish.
