Description

A lovely vintage reissue guitar from 1986 of a 1959 Les Paul. In fair condition, the pick-up surrounds and scratch plate have cracked but other than this, it shows very minimal signs of wear. Also, a good weight for a LP at 9Ibs 0.5oz

Before the introduction of the Gibson Custom Shop Historic line of official reissues, Gibson began producing replicas of their late 50s Burst Les Pauls as early as 1982. Over time, these replicas became closer to what would eventually be released in 1993 as the first Custom Shop Historic 59 Les Paul Reissue. The period from 1990 – 1992 represent the closest analogs to Gibson s early Custom Shop models, but were still produced in small batches for various retailers, and feature a variety of specifications and appointments.
