January 23, 2001This is the ultimate Historic Les Paul guitar, offering the collector an instrument
that is unsurpassed in both quality and beauty. It is a painstaking reproduction
of the original, which has become one of the most desirable guitars in the history
of the instrument.
The 1959 Reissue Les Paul Standard Flame Top features a lightweight aluminum
tailpiece, which not only reduces the weight of the body but also retains each
string1s harmonic character like no other. The guitar has historically accurate,
thin binding, and historically accurate fretwire, wider and flatter and making
for extremely fast action on the fingerboard. The guitar also features an historically
accurate switchwasher and jackplate.
By far the most important feature, this instrument boasts the most renowned
top in the 100-plus year history of Gibson. The result of the industry's most
extensive field effort and sourcing network, this year1s 1959 Reissue Les Paul
has the "best" flame in the program's history. Only 475 will be offered
in the USA this year.
This guitar ships with a Reissue Case, a Certificate of Authenticity, vintage
strap and a Custom Care Kit with an accessory pack and service booklet. For more information, visit their web site at www.gibson.com. |
