The Gibson Custom Shop 1959 Les Paul Flametop, built in 2016, and kept in its case under the bed fior the major part of the past decade.... is a stunning recreation of one of the most iconic electric guitars in history. Finished in a rich Vintage Sunburst, this guitar features a beautifully carved flamed maple top over a one-piece mahogany body, delivering both visual elegance and tonal depth. Weighing 4.1 kg, it strikes a perfect balance between sustain and comfort. The hand-wound CustomBucker pickups accurately replicate the warm, articulate tones of original PAF humbuckers, producing everything from smooth, singing leads to punchy, dynamic rhythm tones. This Custom Shop reissue stays true to the legendary 1959 Les Paul formula.

Beyond its vintage-correct aesthetics, the 2016 reissue offers an exceptional playing experience. The 1959-style neck profile is comfortably rounded, providing a perfect blend of substance and playability, making it ideal for both vintage purists and modern players. The rosewood fretboard features classic cellulose trapezoid inlays, while the aged nickel hardware and VOS (Vintage Original Spec) finish give the guitar a naturally worn-in look and feel. The combination of top-tier craftsmanship and historically accurate appointments makes this Gibson Custom Shop 1959 Les Paul Flametop an instrument worthy of any serious collector or musician seeking the unmistakable tone and feel of a golden-era Les Paul.
