Personal Reflection:
This 2023 Gibson Custom Shop '59 Reissue Les Paul is truly something special, especially with its handpicked flame maple top. The Aged Cherry finish is vibrant, complementing the deep figuring on the maple. The CustomBucker humbuckers (with pickup covers removed) provide a raw, unfiltered tone that’s perfect for players who love that open, responsive Les Paul sound. These pickups are known for their clarity and vintage character, giving you a sound that’s full, articulate, and packed with sustain.
The '59 Rounded neck profile is a dream to play, offering that iconic chunkiness but with enough comfort for easy movement up and down the fretboard. With the pickup covers removed, you get a slightly hotter tone, giving this guitar a bit more edge than your standard '59.
Condition Report:

The action is smooth and low, and the electronics are functioning perfectly. It’s the ideal guitar for collectors or players who want the best of Gibson’s Custom Shop craftsmanship combined with a stunning, unique aesthetic.
