Please note that this extended warranty is currently only available on products sold within the UK, EU or EEA, and is subject to the terms and conditions as detailed on the extended warranty certificate provided.
For customers in outlying areas of the country, the price of the Extended Warranty may be marginally higher, due to the potential for higher collection and redelivery transport costs.
This enhanced warranty is in addition to the standard Gear4music and manufacturer warranty policies, and the Gear4music terms and conditions of trade. No statement or condition of sale contained within these terms affects or restricts your statutory rights as defined under the Consumer Contracts Regulation 2014.
Key Features
The Gibson Custom 1959 Les Paul Standard BOTB Pg 90 is a detailed recreation of the iconic Burst featured on page 90 of 'Beauty of the Burst', believed to have been owned by Jeff Beck. Built as a Made 2 Measure model by the Gibson Custom Shop and aged by the Murphy Lab, it features a wide teaburst finish, a beautifully figured maple top, and vintage-correct details that capture the look and feel of an original '59 Les Paul.
Equipped with Custom Bucker Alnico 3 pickups, a hide-glue set neck, and period-accurate hardware, it delivers the warm, articulate tone and dynamic response that defines the Burst legacy. From the authentic 1959 neck carve to the aged nitro finish, this is a collector-grade instrument built for serious tone and timeless style.

The Gibson Custom 1959 Les Paul Standard BOTB Page 90 is a faithful recreation of one of the most iconic vintage Les Pauls ever documented. Based on the guitar featured on page 90 of the celebrated Beauty of the Burst book, this model brings one of the most revered '59 Bursts to life through Gibson’s Made 2 Measure programme. That original guitar—serial 9 1864—is famously associated with Jeff Beck and stands out for its vibrant teaburst finish and wide flame maple top. Every visual detail has been painstakingly matched, from the colour gradation to the top carve and grain pattern. The result is not just another '59 reissue—it’s a specific, storied Burst brought back to life, giving you the detail and delectability of a true golden-era Gibson.
Each guitar in this limited run receives expert treatment from the Murphy Lab, Gibson’s dedicated vintage ageing division led by Tom Murphy himself. This model is finished in a light aged patina that replicates six decades of natural wear, including subtle lacquer checking, dulled hardware, and gentle playwear across contact points. The nitrocellulose lacquer is thinly applied and hand-aged to allow the wood to breathe and resonate more openly, giving the guitar a broken-in feel straight out of the case. This type of relic work not only adds character but also contributes to the overall tone and responsiveness of the instrument. If you’re after an authentic vintage experience, this aged finish delivers historical accuracy and playability in equal measure.
To deliver the legendary PAF tone that defines the ’59 Les Paul, this guitar is equipped with a set of Gibson Custom Bucker Alnico 3 pickups. These humbuckers are designed to replicate the clarity, warmth, and harmonic richness of original late-’50s PAFs, offering an expressive dynamic range that responds effortlessly to pick attack and volume changes. Clean tones shimmer with detail, while overdriven tones sustain with complex overtones and creamy mids. Paired with vintage-style wiring and matched pots and capacitors, the Custom Buckers allow you to access the full tonal sweep that made the Burst a studio and stage legend. From articulate blues to fat, saturated rock tones, these pickups maintain clarity and nuance across every note.
One of the most celebrated features of the original 1959 Les Paul is its neck profile—thicker than earlier years but shaped with a comfortable taper that feels substantial without being unwieldy. This recreation uses a true-to-original 1959 neck carve that fits naturally in the hand, giving you the kind of tactile connection that inspires expressive playing. The solid Mahogany neck is joined to the body using traditional hide-glue methods, a vintage-correct process that improves resonance and sustain by allowing the wood fibres to bond more organically. Combined with a 12" radius Indian Rosewood fingerboard and medium jumbo frets, this neck delivers fluid playability for intricate lead work, big bends, and full chord voicings. It’s a neck that feels amazing under your fingers, encouraging tone-rich playing every time you pick it up.
From the tonewood selection to the finishing touches, this Les Paul stays true to vintage-correct construction at every turn. The body is crafted from a single piece of Mahogany with no weight relief, topped with a hand-selected, two-piece figured Maple cap. This combination gives the guitar its classic tonal recipe—Mahogany providing warmth and depth, while the Maple adds bite and clarity. The neck is also solid Mahogany, supporting sustain-rich performance across the fretboard. Hardware includes a vintage-style ABR-1 bridge and lightweight aluminium stopbar tailpiece, chosen for their tonal transparency and period-correct feel. Kluson tuners offer smooth and stable performance with the vintage aesthetic intact. Every detail is considered, right down to the plastics, knobs, and switch tip, making this one of the most complete recreations of a '59 Burst available today.
