However, the Gear4music extended warranty scheme provides an enhanced service, and is designed to offer a higher level of protection than many 'free' warranties offered by some retailers and manufacturers.
The highlights of this enhanced warranty service are:
Please note that this extended warranty is currently only available on products sold within the UK, EU or EEA, and is subject to the terms and conditions as detailed on the extended warranty certificate provided.
For customers in outlying areas of the country, the price of the Extended Warranty may be marginally higher, due to the potential for higher collection and redelivery transport costs.
This enhanced warranty is in addition to the standard Gear4music and manufacturer warranty policies, and the Gear4music terms and conditions of trade. No statement or condition of sale contained within these terms affects or restricts your statutory rights as defined under the Consumer Contracts Regulation 2014.
Key Features
The Gibson Custom 1959 Les Paul Standard Reissue VOS gives you the sound, feel, and craftsmanship of one of the most iconic guitars ever built. Fitted with Custombucker Alnico III pickups, it delivers the warmth, bite, and clarity that defined an era — perfect for everything from soulful blues to driven rock. Classic controls give you direct access to a wide tonal palette, with the kind of dynamic response that rewards expressive playing.
Built with a one-piece mahogany body and two-piece plain maple top, this reissue stays true to vintage construction methods, including a long tenon neck joint set with hide glue for improved resonance. Finished in a striking Iced Tea Burst nitrocellulose lacquer, it’s a detailed recreation that captures the character and feel of a golden-era original — offering a strong connection to one of the most celebrated instruments in electric guitar history.
Product Ref: 322791
The Custombucker Alnico III pickups in the 1959 Les Paul Standard Reissue are voiced to capture the unmistakable tone of late-'50s PAFs — open, articulate, and full of character. Slightly underwound and unpotted, they deliver the clarity and touch sensitivity that define a true Burst, with a singing top end and a midrange that’s rich but never congested. Whether played clean or driven hard, they maintain a sense of space and definition that lets the wood and construction of the guitar come through.
These pickups aren’t just a nod to the past, they’re built with the same philosophy as the originals, offering a direct connection to the tones that shaped everything from early blues and rock to modern classic tones. Their dynamic response rewards expressive playing, with just the right amount of edge, sweetness, and vintage bite.
Every element of the 1959 Les Paul Standard Reissue’s construction speaks to vintage-correct craftsmanship and player-focused design. The solid mahogany neck is shaped to a period-accurate ’50s Rounded Medium C profile, substantial in feel, yet balanced for fluid movement across the board. Paired with an Indian rosewood fingerboard and 12-inch radius, it offers a playing surface that’s both familiar and responsive, with historic-spec fret wire that keeps the tactile feel true to original models.
The body is constructed from a one-piece mahogany back and a two-piece plain maple top, resulting in a tone that’s full, resonant, and evenly balanced. A long tenon neck joint and hide glue construction ensure solid connectivity and superior sustain, while the no-wire ABR-1 bridge and Kluson tuners provide rock-solid tuning and intonation. It’s a build that honours the legacy of the original 1959 Standard, not just in appearance, but in tone and feel, too.
True vintage enthusiasts will recognise the details that set this reissue apart. The Kluson single-line, single-ring tuners, nickel hardware, and laminated cellulose acetate butyrate pickguard aren’t just nods to the past, they’re carefully selected components that mirror the materials and aesthetics used in the original 1959 models. The gold butyrate top hat knobs and amber Catalin switch tip offer period-correct styling and tactile authenticity. Every element is researched, sourced, and applied to match what you’d expect to find on a genuine Burst, right down to the materials used in plastics and finishes. This is heritage you can see, feel, and hear.
The included brown/pink five-latch reissue case is more than just practical, it's a continuation of the 1959 experience. Modeled after the original cases used in that era, it features period-correct styling, a durable brown exterior, and a plush pink lining that’s instantly recognisable to vintage fans. The snug internal fit protects the guitar during travel or storage, while the robust construction and reinforced latches ensure long-term durability. Whether you’re keeping this guitar in the studio, taking it on the road, or simply admiring it at home, this case completes the reissue package with the same attention to authenticity found in the instrument itself.
Introduced in 1952, the Les Paul quickly became one of the most influential electric guitars ever made. Its combination of a carved maple top, solid mahogany body and dual humbuckers laid the foundation for a sound that would shape decades of music across genres.
Celebrated by players like Jimmy Page, Peter Green and Slash, the '59 Les Paul remains the most iconic version of the model. The Gibson Custom 1959 Les Paul Standard Reissue VOS carries that legacy forward with vintage-correct materials, construction and tone. It is not a reinterpretation. It is a faithful recreation, built for those who value authenticity.
