Gibson Custom '59 Les Paul Standard BOTB Page 40 VOS NH - Sunburst with Hardshell Case

The Gibson Custom '59 Les Paul Standard: A Burst from the Book Comes to Life

Historic Les Paul Craftsmanship Reimagined

The Gibson Custom '59 Les Paul Standard BOTB Page 40 VOS NH takes direct inspiration from one of the most iconic instruments featured in Yasuhiko Iwanade's renowned Beauty of the Burst. This meticulously crafted reissue is a tribute to the golden age of electric guitars, capturing the essence of late-1950s tone and feel with remarkable fidelity. From the contours of its hand-carved maple top to the authentic VOS (Vintage Original Spec) finish, every detail has been honed for vintage character.

A Finish Steeped in Vintage Mojo

The Sunburst finish on this BOTB Page 40 replica isn't just beautiful ? it's historically informed. Painstakingly aged through Gibson?s VOS process, the nitrocellulose lacquer wears with the look and feel of a well-loved original, complete with subtle aging, gentle checking, and a finish tone that sings the 1950s. Non-historic features are left behind in favor of era-accurate details including the ?Page 40? top carve and coloring.

Premium Tonewoods and Attention to Detail

Beneath the burst, you'll find a solid, lightweight mahogany body topped with a carefully selected maple cap. The one-piece mahogany neck, paired with a hide glue set long tenon, delivers resonance and sustain that only a true '59 spec can provide. The rosewood fingerboard, with its vintage-correct celluloid inlays and period-appropriate binding, ensures a tactile, responsive playing experience.

Legendary Pickups for Authentic Voice

Under the hood, a pair of unpotted Custombucker Alnico III pickups are wired with hand-soldered electronics and vintage taper potentiometers. These pickups are voiced to replicate the organic bloom and articulate chime of late-'50s PAFs, offering everything from sweet cleans to harmonically rich overdrive. From subtle to searing, the tone remains musical and responsive to your touch.

Collector-Worthy Completeness

Every Gibson Custom '59 Les Paul Standard BOTB Page 40 VOS NH ships with a Gibson Custom Shop hardshell case, certificate of authenticity, and complete case candy. This is not just an instrument, it's a collectible, a tonal time capsule, and a player's dream all rolled into one glorious Sunburst.
