The 1959 Gibson Les Paul Reissue Heavy Aged Dirty Lemon is an authentic reissue of the legendary Bursts from the golden era of guitar making.

Last but not least, the Gibson 1959 Les Paul Reissue offers historically correct hardware with Tune-O-Matic bridge, Stopbar tailpiece and Kluson Deluxe tuners.
The 1959 Gibson Les Paul Reissue Heavy Aged Dirty Lemon follows the traditional guidelines of the golden 1950s. Accordingly, the neck and body are each made of mahogany and glued with Hot Hide Glue. This hardens glass hard and guarantees perfect resonance in combination with the Long Neck Tenon. Another special feature is the extremely rare "Stinger Headstock" with lacquered headstock back. Of course, the Gibson 1959 Les Paul has a two-piece Riegelahorn top, which gives the sound a brilliant range of highs.
The Gibson 1959 Les Paul Reissue Heavy Aged Dirty Lemon is electrically converted by two Gibson Custom Buckers in neck and bridge position. Equipped with Alnico III magnets, these humbuckers convince with a sound in the best PAF tradition, which lays the perfect foundation for classical blues and rock with airy highs and a vocal mid-spectrum. The lively dynamics put the sound in the hands of the player, so that nothing stands in the way of expressive electric guitar playing. The pickups are controlled using the classic Les Paul circuit, which consists of a 3-way switch and individual volume and tone controls.
In addition, the 1959 Gibson offers Les Paul Reissue Heavy Aged Dirty Lemon high-quality hardware in authentic vintage style. Accordingly, the ABR-1 Tune-O-Matic bridge and Stopbar tailpiece developed by Ted McCarty sits on the body, ensuring perfect adjustment of intonation and string position. Kluson Deluxe tuners at the headstock also guarantee an exact and stable tuning.
