Top Hand-Selected by Tone Shop Guitars

Built exclusively for Tone Shop Guitars, this Gibson Custom Dealer Select 1959 Les Paul Standard pairs one of Gibson's most iconic reissues with a finish and specification package developed during our most recent visit to the Gibson Custom Shop. Every AAA maple top in this run was personally hand-selected by our team before being finished in Murphy Lab Ultra Light Aged Vintage Lemon Burst.

The chambered one-piece lightweight mahogany body offers exceptional comfort while preserving the unmistakable sustain, resonance, and feel that have made the '59 Les Paul legendary. Combined with Murphy Lab's Ultra Light Aging, this guitar delivers the look and character of a carefully preserved vintage original without overdoing the wear.

From the unpotted Custombucker Alnico 3 pickups to the long-tenon hide glue neck joint and historically accurate hardware, every detail stays true to the Golden Era of Gibson while offering a uniquely curated Dealer Select exclusive available only through Tone Shop Guitars.
