Personal Thoughts:
This 2023 Gibson Custom Shop '59 HPT is an absolute beauty—Dirty Lemon Burst over an HPT-grade maple top makes this one stand out even among high-end reissues. The figuring is intense and consistent, with tons of visual movement that shifts in the light. It’s a top you’ll catch yourself staring at between chords.
The '59 neck carve is that sweet spot—full and rounded without being overwhelming—and paired with the hand-wired Custom Buckers, it delivers the kind of dynamic, vintage-voiced tone that makes these reissues so sought after. Warm cleans, clear mids, and just the right amount of top-end chime and bite.
Whether you're a player or collector, this is a serious reissue with premium visual and tonal appeal.
 
Condition Report:
This guitar is in excellent condition, with just a couple of minor cosmetic blemishes: a small impression on the face of the headstock and a second on the side bout. Both are very minor and do not detract from the guitar’s overall appearance or performance.
Otherwise, the guitar is mint—clean top, unworn frets, and flawless electronics. Includes the original Gibson Custom Shop Lifton-style case, certificate of authenticity, and all case candy. A killer example of a top-tier Les Paul with premium looks and tone to match.
