Gibson Custom 1959 Les Paul Standard Reissue VOS - Dirty Lemon with Hardshell Case

The Gibson Custom 1959 Les Paul Standard Reissue VOS: A Historic Reimagining of the Ultimate Burst

Vintage-Inspired Craftsmanship

This Gibson Custom 1959 Les Paul Standard Reissue VOS in Dirty Lemon is nothing short of a modern classic. Crafted with meticulous attention to the original "holy grail" 1959 specs, this guitar is a faithful recreation of one of the most iconic instruments in music history. From the hand-selected lightweight mahogany body to the hide-glue fitted figured maple top, every detail is shaped to offer vintage tone and feel with uncompromised authenticity. The VOS (Vintage Original Spec) nitrocellulose finish adds a subtle patina, giving it the look and vibe of a well-preserved vintage instrument straight out of a collector's vault.

Legendary Tone from Custombuckers

A pair of Custombucker Alnico 3 pickups, painstakingly wound to match late-50s specs. These pickups serve up warm, articulate lows and that unmistakable upper-midrange chime that defined the golden era of Les Pauls. With the volume rolled back, you’ll get clarity and clean bloom. Push it into overdrive, and the tone opens up into a singing, harmonically rich voice that sings for lead lines and powers through chunky chords. The vintage-correct electronics, including CTS 500K pots and paper-in-oil capacitors, ensure that every twist of the knob delivers dynamic control and tonal versatility.

Period-Correct Neck Profile and Feel

The 1959 Rounded Medium C neck profile is shaped for the perfect blend of comfort and substance, giving your fretting hand something to hold onto without slowing you down. It's topped with a beautiful Indian rosewood fingerboard featuring trapezoid inlays made from cellulose nitrate for true period accuracy. The long neck tenon construction with hide-glue fit ensures optimum resonance transfer, while the medium-jumbo frets provide a smooth playing surface that's ideal for expressive bends and articulate vibrato.

Premium Hardware, VOS Aesthetic

This Reissue wears all the right gear, nickel-plated ABR-1 bridge and lightweight aluminum stop bar tailpiece, Kluson Single Line tuners, and nickel silver pickup covers. Each component has been aged with subtlety as part of the VOS treatment, striking a beautiful balance between vintage patina and showroom shine. From the top hat knobs to the amber Catalin switch tip, this guitar is dressed with vintage-correct appointments that speak to Gibson’s obsessive attention to detail.

Collector-Grade Presentation

This 1959 Les Paul Standard Reissue includes a brown and pink reissue 5-latch hardshell case, certificate of authenticity, case keys, and product literature. Whether you're a collector looking for the pinnacle of reissues or a serious player chasing golden-era tone, this Les Paul delivers in every dimension, visually, sonically, and historically.
