Celebrating 60 years of one of the most iconic electric guitars on the planet, the Gibson Custom 60th Anniversary 1959 Les Paul Standard VOS deserves a place in any Gibson fan's collection. A pair of unpotted CustomBucker humbucking pickups with Alnico III magnets deliver the most historically-accurate PAF tone around. The expertly-crafted mahogany neck with Authentic '59 Medium C profile will feel like an old friend to players familiar with '59 Les Paul models. And the VOS nitro finish offers the true vintage feel and look that poly finishes can't provide. Complete with rosewood fretboard and 22 Historic Medium Jumbo frets, the Gibson Custom 60th Anniversary 1959 Les Paul Standard VOS offers classic playability and tone to a modern generation of Gibson fans.
Every inch of this Les Paul has vibe
To revive the essence of the original 1959 Les Paul, Gibson painstakingly re-created each part piece by piece. The surprisingly lightweight mahogany body, 2-piece figured maple top, and solid rosewood fingerboard are only the beginning. Not only do you get the Authentic '59 Medium C neck profile so many players adore, but the accuracy of the details go all the way down to the straight-line positioning of this Historic 1959 Les Paul Standard's vintage-style Kluson tuners, and the size and shape of its cellulose trapezoid inlays.
CustomBucker pickups deliver vintage PAF tone
Gibson Custom paid just as much attention to the 60th Anniversary 1959 Les Paul Standard VOS's electronics as they did to its aesthetics. Beginning with vintage CTS potentiometers and bumble bee capacitors, every part of its internal signal path is designed to give you absolutely dead-on '59 Les Paul tone. Of course, it's next to impossible to find genuine '50s PAFs (even for Gibson). Instead, the Custom Shop 60th Anniversary 1959 Les Paul Standard VOS sports a pair of Gibson's CustomBucker humbuckers. The CustomBucker is the most historically accurate PAF copy ever. You just won't find another Les Paul that comes as close to the original look, sound, and feel of a '59 Les Paul!
