However, the Gear4music extended warranty scheme provides an enhanced service, and is designed to offer a higher level of protection than many 'free' warranties offered by some retailers and manufacturers.
The highlights of this enhanced warranty service are:
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 Reissue is a meticulous recreation of one of the most iconic guitars in history. Crafted with laser-scanned dimensions, chemically aged plastics, and colour-matched finishes, it delivers an authentic vintage feel. The lightweight mahogany body and figured maple top are joined with hide glue for maximum resonance, while the hand-rolled fingerboard binding ensures a smooth, played-in feel.
Equipped with unpotted Custombucker Alnico III pickups, this reissue captures the unmistakable warmth, clarity, and bite of a true '59 Les Paul. Aged nickel hardware, Kluson tuners, and a classic ABR-1 bridge complete the period-correct details, while the slim C-profile neck offers comfortable playability. It's an expertly crafted tribute to a legendary instrument.

The Gibson Custom 1959 Les Paul Standard Reissue is a masterclass in vintage accuracy, designed to replicate every detail of the legendary original. Using laser-scanned measurements from real 1959 Les Pauls, this reissue boasts the exact dimensions, curves, and contours of the classic model. Every element, from the chemically recreated plastics to the hand-rolled fingerboard binding, has been meticulously crafted to capture the feel and aesthetics of a true '59. Even the finishing process mirrors vintage techniques, with a nitrocellulose lacquer that ages beautifully over time, giving the guitar an unmistakable character.
At the heart of the 1959 Les Paul Standard Reissue lies a set of Custombucker Alnico III pickups, delivering the unmistakable warmth, clarity, and bite that defined an era of rock and blues. These unpotted humbuckers provide a dynamic response, allowing every nuance of your playing to shine through with remarkable sensitivity. You can dial in smooth, singing leads or powerful, articulate rhythm tones, with the Custombuckers capturing the essence of a vintage PAF pickup. The result is a rich, expressive sound packed with authentic character.
True to vintage spec, the 1959 Les Paul Standard Reissue utilises hide glue construction throughout, a feature that enhances both resonance and sustain. The two-piece figured maple top and solid mahogany back are joined using traditional hide glue, ensuring a more organic transfer of vibrations between the woods. This method allows the guitar to sing with unmatched depth and warmth, creating a tone that is both harmonically rich and incredibly dynamic. It’s a detail often overlooked in modern builds, but one that makes a significant difference in tone and feel.
Comfort and balance are key to a great playing experience, and the lightweight one-piece mahogany body of this Les Paul reissue ensures just that. Unlike some heavier models, this guitar is crafted for optimal weight distribution, making long playing sessions more comfortable while still delivering the rich, full-bodied tone Les Pauls are known for. The natural resonance of the mahogany, combined with the absence of modern weight relief, provides a solid, vintage-correct feel that captures the essence of the originals.
No detail has been overlooked when it comes to ensuring historical accuracy, and that includes the hardware and finish. The nickel-plated ABR-1 bridge and lightweight aluminium stop bar tailpiece offer tuning stability and sustain while maintaining the vintage aesthetic. Kluson single-line tuners with single-ring buttons provide an authentic look and feel, complementing the Gold Butyrate Top Hat knobs and cellulose nitrate trapezoid inlays. Finished in a stunning Dirty Lemon burst, this reissue embodies the look, sound, and feel of an original 1959 Les Paul, making it an exceptional tribute to one of the most revered guitars in history.
