2000 Gibson Custom Shop Historic Collection 1959 Les Paul Reissue AAAAA Quilt

Description: Offered for sale this exquisite Gibson Les Paul 1959 Reissue, manufactured in 2000, at the end of the Gibson's "good wood" era.. It has a gorgeous AAAAA figured Ice Tea Sunburst Quilt Maple killer top with a nice 3-D effect, a mahogany body and one piece mahogany neck with a nice dark rosewood fretboard. The guitar comes with a Gibson hardshell case and a Gibson Custom, Art and Historic Division Gold Warranty booklet. The guitar is pretty clean for almost 25 years old instrument, just has some area of a buckle rush on the back. The top and the neck are absolutely clean. The hardware has tarnished over the time, but it doesn't spoil the overall look, even adds some vintage character to its appearance. The frets ae in excellent shape, the action is low and fast. The figured quilt maple top is to die for. It would be hard to find a similar top on other LP R9 guitars. Other than the gorgeous top, the neck is the thing I love most of all, its not too thick and not too thin, just right, and fits the hand like a glove. The guitar weight is 9 lbs. The pickups and electronics are all original with no mods. It has the traditional two volume and two tone controls with a 3-way pickup selector. The pickups themselves have that great classic Gibson LP sound, full and rich and has enough power to give it plenty of crunch. In my opinion, it's a perfect Gibson Les Paul in terms of appearance, playability and sound. I would be glad to pass it to the good hands knowing that it would be a pleasure for a new owner to keep and play this unmatched instrument from the cream of the crop of the Gibson Custom Shop. The Gibson Les Paul 1959 Reissue is the essence of Gibson past and future, the "Holy Grail" of guitars sporting the best features, and is still one of the best instruments to-date from the Gibson Custom Shop. Even unplugged the guitar produces a clean and loud acoustic voice. Plug it in a good tube amp and get the classic great crunch and bite of a fine Les Paul that we all know and love. Gibson Custom Shop’s 1959 Les Paul Standard Reissue is not just a tribute to the priceless original models—it’s a clone of them. From laser-scanned dimensions to chemically-recreated plastics to color-matched shades of sunburst, every element has been rendered in unbelievable detail. It represents the culmination of decades of work by Custom Shop’s expert team—a tireless quest to bring accuracy and authenticity to the hands of fans. It’s the definition of cool, and it’s the best representation of the 1959 Les Paul Standard since the Gibson Custom Shop began making Historic Reissues.
