A meticulously crafted tribute to the legendary late-’50s Les Paul Standard, this 2009 Custom Shop example captures the essence of the classic 1959 design with modern precision. Featuring a solid mahogany body with a figured maple top, set mahogany neck with an authentic ’59 medium C profile, and Indian rosewood fingerboard, it delivers the rich, warm tones and sustain that define vintage Les Pauls. Paired with Custom Shop pickups and premium hardware like a Tune-O-Matic bridge and Kluson tuners, it offers expressive dynamics and versatile voice. The Washed Cherry nitrocellulose lacquer finish highlights the wood grain with a subtly aged look, giving this reissue both stunning visual appeal and timeless musical character.
