{"product_id":"03-2800005744743","title":"[SN 961493] USED Gibson Custom Shop \/ Dealer Select 1959 Les Paul Standard VOS Kentucky Bourbon Fade [03]","description":"We’ve just received a used 2026 1959 Les Paul Standard—a model originally ordered by a domestic dealer!\u003cbr\u003e \nThis special-edition model features a flame maple top—selected on-site by a Japanese dealer who visited the Nashville factory in October 2025—and is finished in the “Kentucky Bourbon Fade” color, inspired by the Les Paul once owned by Michael Bloomfield.\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e \nThe body features a two-piece figured maple top selected at the Nashville factory, a one-piece lightweight mahogany back, a solid mahogany neck, and an Indian rosewood fingerboard. Traditional hide glue is used for all joints, resulting in a cohesive, vintage-style body that boasts excellent natural resonance and response.\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e \nThe neck features an authentic ’59 medium C-shape with a comfortable grip that’s easy to hold, paired with Historic Medium Jumbo frets.\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e \nIt is equipped with a “Custombucker Alnico 2 Unpotted” pickup. While standard models typically feature an “Alnico 3” Custombucker, this instrument—as a Japan-exclusive order—uses Alnico 2, which has a different magnetic strength. It delivers a juicy, sticky tone with a creamier sound and a full, forward midrange, along with a highly appealing response that faithfully reflects the player’s dynamics.\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e \nThere is some rust visible on the pickguard bracket, but since it has a VOS finish, it shouldn’t be too noticeable. Additionally, there is a crack in one of the screw holes on the jack plate; however, the guitar shows almost no signs of wear and is in excellent condition.\u003cbr\u003e \nThe neck is in excellent condition, and the frets show almost no wear.\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e \nThis is a truly magnificent instrument, featuring a stunning combination of beautifully figured maple—selected on-site—and the elegant hues of the Kentucky Bourbon Fade finish! The fingerboard boasts a rich, deep color, giving this instrument an air of luxury!\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e \n* Please note that due to the nature of this product, we are unable to transfer it between stores.\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e \nCondition Grade: B+: Some minor scratches, but no issues for normal use\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e \nSerial Number: 9 61493\u003cbr\u003e \nYear of Manufacture: 2026\u003cbr\u003e \nCountry of Manufacture: United States\u003cbr\u003e \nCase: Hard Case\u003cbr\u003e \nAccessories: Instruction manual, order specification sheet, manuals and tags, toggle switch back panel, case key\u003cbr\u003e \nWeight: 3.99 kg\u003cbr\u003e \nTruss Rod: No issues; rod movement confirmed up to 60 degrees in both directions with no problems\u003cbr\u003e \nRemaining Fret Life: Within normal range; fret height is sufficient for playability\u003cbr\u003e \nString Height (Low String Side): 2.0 mm at the 12th fret\u003cbr\u003e \nString action (low-string side): 1.5 mm at the 12th fret\u003cbr\u003e \nNut width: 42.5 mm\u003cbr\u003e \nNeck thickness near the 1st fret: 22.6 mm\u003cbr\u003e \nNeck thickness near the 12th fret: 25.5 mm\u003cbr\u003e \nScale: 625 mm (24.6\")\u003cbr\u003e \nRadius: 305 mm (12\")\u003cbr\u003e \nStrings at Setup: ERNIE BALL 2221 \/ .010-.046 set\u003cbr\u003e \nRepairs and Maintenance Performed: Cleaning, string replacement, truss rod adjustment, octave adjustment, action adjustment\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e \n* As this is a used item, there may be scratches, dents, and other imperfections that are not clearly visible in the photos or not listed here.
