Gibson Gibson Les Paul 59 Reissue VOS Yamano Handpicked Sunburst

In 1959, the Les Paul Standard made a change to wider, fatter jumbo frets which made it a more facile guitar. The significance of this change wouldnt be felt until the late 60s when Clapton, Bloomfield, Peter Green, and other emerging guitarists discovered its warm, thick BurstBucker voice and fast, smooth and easy-playing neck. Then the Les Paul began its ascent toward ultimate icon status.

Like all VOS (Vintage Original Spec) Series instruments, the 1959 Les Paul Standard VOS is handcrafted for comfort and playability in the Gibson Custom Shop. The construction, neck profile, hardware, and electronics are period accurate, and a special nitrocellulose finish treatment gives it the patina of a gently aged vintage guitar. Includes Gibson Custom Shop case, a certificate of authenticity, and custom care kit.

"Handpicked" for YAMANO as indicated in the model name and designation Y-LPR9VOSSNTBNH1. The Yamanos are considered to be the very best guitars, built to the highest standard. They are built from the finest woods and handpicked for their outstanding appearance and performance. Until 2007 when Gibson severed ties with Yamano, who was Gibsons Japanese distributor, the very best guitars were sent to Japan. Today, guitars are still handpicked for their outstanding appearance and performance, built from the finest woods, judged by the highest standard and they are still marked with a Y designation in the SKU. However, they are now available to the domestic market in extremely limited numbers.

This guitar comes fully set up and ready to play by our in-store guitar tech, and includes a full 12 month warranty with us!
