In 2019 Gibson released its flagship reissue, the 1959 Les Paul Standard, 60th anniversary Reissue. It came with a “Carmelita” neck and top carve and killer tops. Up potted Custom Bucker pickups and better than ever internal electronics.
This example is beautiful, resonant, punchy, and is really a great player. I have the 2019 R8 Reissue and having these side by side illustrates the two separate years quite well.
This guitar weighs in at 8lbs and 6 oz
