The Story

Used 2016 Standard Historic 1959 Les Paul Reissue Electric Guitar Bourbon Burst

Easily one of our favorite finishes, here is a '59 Standard Historic Les Paul in a Bourbon Burst finish over a beautiful flame maple top. The Standard Historic retains the hide glue neck construction for added clarity and sustain, and who can deny the great feeling of a chunky '50s neck profile. The top has nice medium width flames with lots of depth to them, and two Custom Bucker humbuckers pump out an authentic '50s PAF tone. This '59 is in overall excellent condition with little to no wear to be seen on it.

Includes: Hardshell Case, Certificate of Authenticity
