Description
Product Description
Step into the spotlight with the renowned Gibson 1959 Les Paul Custom Historic Electric Guitar, a vintage marvel that gives you the feel of rocking out in the golden era of music. This spectacular instrument is not just a guitar; it's a time machine that transports you back to the height of rock 'n' roll, when the original Les Paul guitars defined the sound of music.
The Gibson 1959 Les Paul Custom Historic Electric Guitar is a meticulous recreation of the original 1959 Les Paul, often dubbed as the "Holy Grail of Guitars" in musician circles. The guitar's superior tonality comes from an expertly crafted solid mahogany body, a beautifully figured maple top, and an Indian rosewood fingerboard.
The included Custom Bucker pickups inject your performance with authentic PAF tones, thanks to the handwired harness with paper-in-oil capacitors. The guitar's aesthetic appeal is amplified by a gorgeous, thin VOS nitrocellulose lacquer finish, giving it an authentic, vintage vibe.

This video of Oasis playing "Supersonic" live at Wembley Stadium in 2000 shows Noel Gallagher using a guitar that almost exactly matches a Gibson 1959 Les Paul Custom Historic Electric Guitar, in a Cherry Sunburst finish. Various points throughout the video show the guitar from different angles and give detailed views of the body, finish, pickups, neck, and headstock. Around 0:27 the truss rod cover can be seen, which contains no written (or engraved) text. Around 2:04, Noel plays the solo of "Supersonic", and the pickups are shown as well as the pickup rings (3:54 is a great look at it as well). All of these details match the aesthetics of the Gibson 1959 Les Paul Custom Historic. This video is from the concert film Oasis - Familiar to Millions: Live At Wembley.

Pak mi p?išel do ruky tenhle ?erný custom, který jsem a v podstat? za toho zlatýho jsem ho vym?nil, protože tenhle custom má tenou?kej krk a já mám malý ruce, takže mi to vyhovovalo. To je kytara, kterou mám do dneška, na kterou hraju nejradši. Ona je z roku 59, což je docela rarita.
Translation:
Then I got my hands on this black Custom that I changed the Goldtop that I played until now for because of this custom had a thin neck and I have small hands, so it suited me. This is the guitar that I have to this day and which I play the most. She is from the year 59 , which is quite a rarity .
