CustomBucker pickups deliver pure vintage PAF tone

Gibson Custom paid just as much attention to this guitar's electronics as they did to its aesthetics. Every part of its internal signal path was designed to deliver dead-on 1959 Les Paul tone. Of course, it's next to impossible to find genuine '50s PAFs (even for Gibson). Instead, the 1959 Les Paul Standard Reissue sports a pair of unpotted Gibson CustomBucker Alnico III humbuckers. The CustomBucker is the most historically accurate PAF copy ever. Take it from Sweetwater's guitar experts: the Gibson Custom 1959 Les Paul Standard Reissue nails the original look, sound, and feel of a 1959 Les Paul.

Authentic ’59 "C" neck and Plek'd frets for optimized playability

Sadek Music, the Gibson 1959 Les Paul Standard Reissue is crafted with comfort and playability at the forefront. Its authentic ’59 "C" neck profile fills your hand with just the right amount of substance, offering that classic, broken-in feel Les Paul enthusiasts crave. The bound Indian rosewood fingerboard is buffed to a luxurious smoothness, while the frets are expertly dressed using Gibson’s advanced Plek Pro machine—technology usually reserved for high-end custom models. This precision fret-leveling process ensures perfect intonation and ultra-smooth playability across the entire neck, making this one of the most playable fretboards you’ll ever experience. Sadek Music invites you to discover the magic of a true ’59 Les Paul reissue—crafted for tone, built for performance.
