Gibson Custom Shop 1959 Les Paul Standard #951086 - vos iced tea burst

This GIBSON Custom Shop 1959 Standard Les Paul solid body electric guitar #951086 (LPR59VOITNH1) is offered in a Sunburst variant christened "Vintage Cherry Sunburst".
Consisting of premium-grade components, it is in every way similar to the original '59: light solid mahogany body, solid mahogany neck with solid rosewood fingerboard joined using the "Long Neck Tenon" method and "Hot Hide Glue" to optimize vibration transfer, and Custom Buckers Alnico III pickups calibrated to reproduce in detail the sound of P.A.F.s from this period. If you're looking for a perfectly authentic vintage feel, you're sure to be totally convinced. Since 2014, Gibson has been using a reworked glue formula ("Hot Hide Glue"), which has the exact properties of the adhesives used back then. Derived from animal proteins, Hide Glue is used in the music industry (notably by violin makers) or marquetry, as it has many advantages, including facilitating maintenance and possible repairs.

Preserving my GibsonNitrocellulose is an old-fashioned varnish that is highly prized for its acoustic qualities, but which requires particular care. Be careful not to place your guitar on any stand that could alter the varnish; we recommend the Hercules brand, whose foams have been designed to avoid this type of inconvenience. The "Gibson Vintage Restoration Kit" maintenance pack will enable you to clean and polish your guitar without risk.
