Pre-Owned Gibson Custom Shop Les Paul '59 Standard Reissue R9 Iced Tea Burst with Hard Shell Case
The Gibson Custom Shop R9: Bring the Holy Grail Home
1959 Les Paul Standard Reissue
Few electric guitars carry the reputation of the 1959 Les Paul Standard. This Gibson Custom Shop R9 is a meticulous recreation built around a lightweight mahogany body, two piece figured maple top, solid mahogany neck, and Indian rosewood fingerboard. The Iced Tea Burst nitrocellulose lacquer finish delivers the unmistakable look of this legendary design.
Custom Bucker Alnico III Humbuckers
A pair of unpotted Custom Bucker Alnico III humbuckers delivers authentic PAF inspired character. The handwired electronics feature 500K CTS pots and paper in oil capacitors, giving the pickups a period inspired signal path designed around classic Les Paul tone.
Authentic 59 Medium C Neck
The solid mahogany neck features an Authentic 59 Medium C profile with a 12 inch radius Indian rosewood fingerboard and 22 medium jumbo frets. Hide glue construction and a long neck tenon complete an old school recipe built for sustain and response.
Gibson Custom Shop VOS Finish
The Vintage Original Sheen treatment gives the nitrocellulose finish a lightly aged matte appearance, complemented by aged hardware for the character of a guitar that has already seen some loving use. This pre owned example shows moderate wear consistent with regular use, with all cosmetic damage documented in the photoset. It is original and unmodified to the best of our knowledge.
