Our take on the Gibson Custom 1959 Les Paul Standard Reissue VOS Electric Guitar

The Gibson Custom 1959 Les Paul Standard Reissue VOS is a Custom Shop recreation of the original 1959 burst, built with a mahogany body and neck, a maple top, a rosewood fingerboard and a nitrocellulose lacquer finish in Rojo Fade Burst. It carries the vintage-correct 1.695-inch nut width and period-style hardware that make the '59 the most copied electric guitar design. The best new price is $5,499 at eBay as of November 6, 2026, with three stores listing it new. That sits at the top of the Custom Shop Les Paul range, so it is a collector and player purchase rather than a value pick.

Best forLes Paul collectors and vintage-spec puristsPlayers who want a Custom Shop '59 without an originalStudio and stage guitarists after classic humbucker toneBuyers willing to pay flagship prices for a USA-made Custom Shop build
Pros
  • Vintage-correct '59 specs: mahogany body and neck, maple top, rosewood board
  • Nitrocellulose lacquer finish and VOS aging give an authentic look and feel
  • 1.695-inch nut width matches the original neck profile
  • Custom Shop construction and hardware at a level above the USA Standard line
  • Strong resale demand for '59 reissues
Cons
  • $5,499 is a premium price for a new electric guitar
  • VOS finish is intentionally aged, which some buyers dislike on a new instrument
  • Heavy solid mahogany body can be tiring over long sets
  • Nitro finish is fragile and checks or dents more easily than poly

Questions and answers

Is the '59 Reissue worth $5,499?
For players and collectors who want vintage-correct '59 specs and Custom Shop build, yes. If you mainly want Les Paul tone, a USA Standard costs far less.
How is it different from a Les Paul Standard?
It is built in the Gibson Custom Shop with '59-spec mahogany and maple, a 1.695-inch nut, period hardware and a VOS nitro finish. The Standard is a production-line guitar with modern specs.
Is the VOS finish damaged?
No. VOS is deliberate light aging applied by Gibson, so the dulled hardware and finish are intentional, not wear.
What is the nut width?
1.695 inches, matching the original 1959 spec and slightly wider than many modern necks.
What's in the box?
A Custom Shop '59 Reissue typically ships with a hardshell case and certificate of authenticity. Confirm the case and paperwork with the seller.
When is it cheapest?
Custom Shop reissues rarely discount deeply. The best new price was $5,499 at eBay as of November 6, 2026; used examples are the main way to pay less.
