USED Gibson Custom / Japan Limited 1959 Les Paul Standard VOS Western Desert Fade [3.98 kg / Manufactured in 2025]

A Gibson Custom Japan Limited 1959 Les Paul VOS, manufactured in 2025.

A ’59 LP featuring a top selected by a Japanese dealer, equipped with an Alnico II Custom Backer, and finished in that iconic color.It features the popular classic “Western Desert Fade” color scheme—an homage to that iconic JP No. 2—which retains a deep brown hue on the upper portion while fading out toward the lower outer edges. It is equipped with “Custombucker Alnico II (Unpotted)” pickups, and the neck shape is the Authentic ’59 Medium C-Shape—a favorite among Les Paul models for its 1959-era character, striking the perfect balance between being neither too thin nor too thick.

With a carefully selected top, legendary color scheme, lightweight body, and Alnico II magnets, this model offers many standout features.

It features the original VOS finish and is in good condition, though it shows slight signs of use (such as scuffs, wipe marks, and picking marks).

It was set up upon arrival (cleaning, string replacement, truss rod adjustment, octave adjustment, and action adjustment); the frets are at a height that poses no issues for playing, and the truss rod has been verified to function properly up to 60° in both directions.
