Gibson Custom Dealer Select 1959 Les Paul Chambered Lemon Burst Heavy Aged

Serial #942873

Weight: 7lbs 3oz

Overview

The Dealer Select 1959 Les Paul Standard Reissue in Lemon Burst brings together the legendary look of a ’59 Burst with modern comfort and exclusive Tone Shop design choices. Its chambered body construction reduces weight while enhancing resonance, making this guitar as playable as it is collectible.

Finished in Murphy Lab Heavy Aged Nitrocellulose lacquer, this Les Paul has the unmistakable vibe of a vintage original — with lacquer checking, hardware patina, and a top that looks like it’s lived decades of hard-earned stage time. Powered by unpotted Custombuckers and built with hide-glue construction, long-tenon neck joint, and a Carmelita carve profile, it is the ultimate expression of Gibson Custom’s craftsmanship.
