Les Paul guitars Gibson Custom 1959 Les Paul Reissue Quilt-Top Electric Guitar Red Tiger

"The 1959 Les Paul Reissue Quilt-Top Electric Guitar is the ame as &rsquo;59 Reissue Gloss Top except it has a fabulous quilt top, rare coloring and up at the headstock, this exceptional &rsquo;59 has a highly figured maple overlay instead of a holly-head veneer which is usually painted opaque black. <br /> <br />The only major change to the Les Paul "Sunburst" in 1959 was the addition of wider, fatter jumbo frets which facilitated more dramatic bends. The real force of this change was not felt until the late 1960s when rock and blues players like Eric Clapton, Mike Bloomfield, and Peter Green began to discover the fat, warm voice of the ''59 Les Paul, that they called the "Sunburst." This moment in history marked the beginning of the idealization of the 1959 Les Paul Sunburst as the quintessential electric guitar in the minds of guitarists and collectors everywhere. <br /> <br />Using a combination of traditional hand craftsmanship and modern technology, the Gibson Custom Shop luthiers painstakingly reproduce the key elements that define stunning, vintage looks, flawless playability, and incredible tone. Solid mahogany back, historically accurate long neck tenon for superior strength and sustain, period correct neck profiles, hardware and electronics, and 100% nitrocellulose lacquer are all part of this special Gibson Custom Shop 50th Anniversary 1959 Les Paul guitar."
