Gibson Custom Shop 1959 Les Paul Standard Green Lemon Fade Willcutt Cloudbucker Pickups (611)

A Gibson Custom Shop 1959 Les Paul Standard Green Lemon Fade that blends vintage-correct construction with Willcutt-exclusive tone. Built with a hand-picked figured maple top over a lightweight one-piece mahogany body, this R9 delivers exceptional resonance, clarity, and dynamic response. The VOS nitro finish paired with Murphy Lab light aging gives it the look and feel of a well-preserved original, while the Carmelita neck carve offers that perfect late-’50s grip—substantial, comfortable, and inspiring in hand.

What truly sets this example apart are the Willcutt Cloudbuckers—underwound PAF-style humbuckers designed specifically for enhanced clarity, articulation, and openness. Expect airy highs, tight low end, and a beautifully balanced midrange that lets every note breathe, whether clean or pushed.

With hide glue construction, a long tenon neck joint, lightweight aluminum hardware, and historically accurate appointments throughout, this is a tone-forward, ultra-responsive Les Paul that captures the magic of a golden-era Burst with a refined, modern edge.
