USED GIBSON CUSTOM / Hand-Selected Top 1959 Les Paul Standard Reissue VOS -2014- Kentucky Bourbon Fade [04]

Gibson Custom Shop Hand-Selected Top 1959 Les Paul Standard Reissue VOS Kentucky Bourbon Fade -2014-

A used 1959 Les Paul Standard, built in 2014 by the Gibson Custom Shop using hand-selected maple, has just arrived!

The top features figured maple carefully selected by a Japanese dealer, paired with a one-piece mahogany back, a solid mahogany neck, and a rosewood fingerboard. It also features long studs/anchors and a Deep Joint construction.

It features Kluson Single Line/Single Ring tuners, an ABR-1 bridge, an aluminum stop bar, and gold-plated knobs. The bound neck, which has a slightly thicker medium C-shape compared to recent models, is adorned with angular dish inlays.

It is equipped with two “Custombucker” pickups featuring Alnico 3 magnets and potting, along with CTS pots and Bumblebee replica capacitors. Designed to evoke the aged, mellow sound of a vintage burst finish, these pickups produce an open tone with peaks in the mid-to-high frequencies, making them suitable for a wide range of genres, from classic rock to contemporary music.

The finish is “Kentucky Bourbon Fade,” the same color used on the Mike Bloomfield Les Paul from the Collectors’ Choice series. The look, with burst patterns remaining near the selector switch, is truly vintage-inspired and beautifully finished.

Although it features a VOS finish, there are slight signs of wear and impact marks from use, and the aniline dye on the neck has faded significantly, resulting in a brown color. Approximately 70% of the frets remain, and we have confirmed that the truss rod turns 60 degrees in both directions.
