The Gibson Custom Shop 1959 Les Paul Standard Reissue (R9) in Poppy Burst represents the pinnacle of Gibson’s Historic Reissue craftsmanship, meticulously designed to capture the look, feel and tone of the most revered Les Pauls of the late 1950s.

This guitar features a highly figured flame maple top, finished in a striking Poppy Burst, showcasing vivid reds that fade naturally into warm amber edges — a finish inspired by rare and highly sought-after vintage examples. The maple top is paired with a solid mahogany body, delivering the signature Les Paul combination of warmth, sustain and harmonic depth.

A mahogany neck with a classic 1959 profile offers a substantial yet comfortable feel, ideal for expressive lead playing and powerful rhythm work. The rosewood fingerboard with traditional trapezoid inlays completes the iconic aesthetic, while vintage-correct hardware and Custom Shop attention to detail ensure an authentic playing experience throughout.

Built in the Gibson Custom Shop, USA, this R9 is a Historic Reissue, not a vintage original, and should be valued for its exceptional build quality, tonal accuracy and timeless design. Whether used on stage, in the studio or as part of a high-end collection, this Les Paul delivers unmistakable tone and presence.

This guitar is pre owned but still in excellent condition and sounds fantastic.
