Gibson Historic Les Paul Review

Gibson historic les paul review.

In this material we shall take a look at the Gibson historic 1959 les paul electric guitar. No matter how you look at it, this is a very expensive electric guitar. $5,499.00 is a lot of money! Finishes include washed cherry, faded tobacco, and iced tea.

Let's take a look at the body of the Gibson historic Les Paul for a moment. The top wood is made of figured maple, while the back wood is made of solid mahogany. The guitar features single-ply cream on top.

Gibson Historic 1959 Les Paul Electric Guitar The neck of the Gibson historic 1959 Les Paul is constructed with 1-piece mahogany with original-style truss rod route. It features a 22 fret rosewood fingerboard, acrylic trapezoid inlays, vintage reissue strings .010-.046, and a scale length/nut width of 24-3/4 inches and 1-11/16 inches respectively.

How about the electronics and hardware? Well the Gibson historic Les Paul features two burstbucker pickups, one for rhythm and another for treble. It also includes CTS pots and bumble bee caps. There are also 2 volume controls, 2 tone controls, and a 3-way switch. The guitar includes an ABR-1/aluminum stopbar, thin original-style toggleswitch washer and jackplate.

The price alone should be a good indicator of what this guitar is worth. I'm talking about value for money here. When you think of the Gibson Historic 1959 les paul, think of names like Eric Clapton, Mike Bloomfield, and Peter Green. It's very easy to play and its sounds are great. I've played guitar for a long time and I have never heard anything like it.

I have read many positive reviews of this electric guitar online as well as tried it at a guitar store and I just wish I owned one. If you've got the money, you would be delighted with the Gibson historic Les Paul.

But as always be sure to read various reviews and compare different electric guitars before choosing. You may also want to compare it with other Les Pauls.
