About the Gibson Custom Shop '59 Les Paul Standard Reissue
The '59 reissue, the R9 to owners, is the Custom Shop's Historic copy of the 1959 Les Paul Standard. A two-piece figured maple top is glued with hide glue to a one-piece mahogany back with no weight relief, and the mahogany neck is set with a long tenon in hide glue. The Indian rosewood board has a 12 inch radius, 22 medium-jumbo frets and cellulose nitrate trapezoids on a 24.75 inch scale, with a nylon nut 1.69 inch wide. Hardware is an ABR-1 bridge, a lightweight aluminum stop bar and Kluson single-line tuners; the hand-wired harness uses CTS 500K pots and Bumblebee-style capacitors.
The neck is a medium C; measured necks are mostly about 0.86 to 0.91 inch deep at the first fret and 0.96 to 1.00 inch at the 12th. Weighed examples come in at about 8.1 to 9.1 lb (3.7 to 4.1 kg). Examples from the early 2010s carry BurstBucker 1 and 2 humbuckers; later ones have unpotted Custombuckers with Alnico III magnets. The standard VOS finish is nitro buffed to a dull sheen over lightly aged nickel that tarnishes further; gloss and Murphy Lab aged versions (Ultra Light, Light, Heavy) exist too. Regular colors are sunbursts like Iced Tea and Washed Cherry; dealer and Made to Measure runs bring hand-picked AAA tops and colors such as Ocean Magenta. It comes in a brown Lifton reissue case with a certificate of authenticity. Pickups are the common swap; ask for the originals.

Price history
Every recorded sale, one point each: 770 of them, placed by the day the ad went up. The line follows the middle of the sales around each point, with the middle half behind it, and breaks wherever nothing sold nearby. Condition is mixed, so some of the spread is a mint against a fair rather than the market moving.
