Product Description
The only major change made to the Les Paul Standard in 1959 was the addition of wider, fatter "jumbo" frets, which facilitated wider bends. The real force of this change was not felt until the late 1960s, when rock and blues players like Eric Clapton, Mike Bloomfield, and Peter Green began to discover and capitilize on the fat, warm voice of the '59 Standard. This moment in history marked the beginning of the idealization of the '59 Les Paul as the Holy Grail of guitars in the minds of professionals, collectors, and weekend warriors. Features include a figured Maple top, 1959 Rounded neck, Burstbucker humbuckers, tulip tuners and a Custom Shop case.
