January 22, 2001

This 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.
