Manufacturer's Description for Gibson 1959 Les Paul Standard Custom Authentic Electric Guitar (with Case)

If you want the look of a vintage Gibson solidbody but can't afford the 5 or 6-figure price tag associated with those legendary instruments, the Custom Authentic program is for you. An overbuffed finish and aged hardware create a guitar with a well-worn look that perfectly compliments the historically accurate neck profile and tone found on Custom Shop Reissues. zZounds is an authorized dealer of Gibson products.
