The '59 Gibson Les Paul Standard is one of the most famous, most sought after, and most expensive guitars in existence! There were less than 650 of these instruments made in 1959, and they can fetch up $ 750,000! Calling these guitars RARE would be an understatement. That's why Gibson is making these true to spec, historic reissues of these fabulous guitars! Gibson's Custom Shop team has been working hard to recreate these iconic beauties! You can have the true look, feel, and sound of the '59 without having to be a millionaire! The Upper Bout has one of these beautiful guitars ready for your collection. Call us at 217-607-8132 for price and availability.
