This guitar is in perfect mint condition, with no signs of play, use or wear whatsoever. It was traded in by a collector, and presents as such, along with the original hard case and certificate of authenticity. The finish has bled into the binding in certain parts, as is to be expected on R9 Custom Shop models.
Gibson Custom's 1959 Les Paul Standard Reissue is not just a tribute to the priceless original models - it's a clone of them. From laser-scanned dimensions to chemically-recreated plastics to colour-matched shades of sunburst, every element has been rendered in unbelievable detail. It represents the culmination of decades of work by Gibson Custom's expert team -- a tireless quest to bring accuracy and authenticity to the hands of fans. It’s the definition of cool, and it's the best representation of the 1959 Les Paul Standard since Gibson Custom began making Historic Reissues over twenty-five years ago.
