This beauty was just traded back into the shop and it's a great sounding one. One of our many Les Paul aficionado's always has a sweet stash of killer R9's. This guitar has been played but not abused and shows signs of player wear with a few marks in the clear coat. She's a great one from the anniversary run and here's your chance to get that 60th R9 that you missed out on.
Look at the color and wood grain on this R9! It has the most unique beauty marks in the grain - truly a special guitar. These were all selected because of their tops, color, weights and tone. The R9’s coming out of the Custom Shop this year have been outstanding and this cherry teaburst is no exception. The guitar ships with all of its case candy, COA and Lifton reissue case. Don't wait on this one as it won't be here for long.

60th Anniversary 1959 Les Paul Standard
The Most Desirable Guitar Ever Made Celebrates Its 60th Anniversary.
No specific Gibson model carries more intrigue and gravitas than the 1959 Les Paul Standard. It wasn't a successful model when it was released (under 650 were made) but before long it was adopted by some of the world's greatest guitarists -- Jimmy Page, Keith Richards, Eric Clapton, Jeff Beck, Duane Allman, Mike Bloomfield, and Billy Gibbons, to name a few.
The instrument was simply enchanting, from its beautiful figured maple top to its extreme sonic versatility. "It has a deep, powerful sound and you can use it to imitate just about anything – violin, sax, cello, even a sitar," says Jeff Beck.
All these reasons and more made the 1959 Les Paul Standard the most coveted and legendary guitar on the planet. Gibson Custom Shop's 60th Anniversary 1959 Les Paul Standard is not just a tribute to the priceless original models -- it's a clone of them. From laser-scanned dimensions to chemically-recreated plastics to color-matched shades of sunburst, every element has been rendered in unbelievable detail. It represents the culmination of yearly advancements to accuracy and authenticity since Gibson Custom Shop began examining vintage Les Pauls over twenty years ago.
