With a AAA flame maple top over mahogany in nitrocellulose lacquer with cream binding, at 8.7 lbs. — right in the range a real '59 would land. Serial #991705\u003ccode\u003e\u003c\/code\u003e dates it to 1999. Condition is excellent with light wear: a handful of small dings on the top, light swirls and scratches in the clearcoat, more small dings on the back and sides, some scratches on the back of the body, tiny dings along the headstock edges, and a few hairline cracks on the control cavity cover around two of the mounting screws.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003eThe mahogany neck is carved to the 1959 Rounded C profile (.905\" at the 1st fret, 1.015\" at the 12th) in nitro, joined with a long-tenon set-neck for the wood contact and sustain that separates a Historic from a standard Les Paul. That's a substantial neck — the real '59 dimension, not a slimmed-down interpretation. A rosewood fretboard with cream binding and celluloid trapezoid inlays sits over a 12\" radius, with 22 medium jumbo frets, a 24.75\" scale length, and a 1 11\/16\" bone nut. The headstock carries the mother-of-pearl Gibson logo with gold Les Paul script. Hardware is nickel throughout: an ABR-1 Tune-O-Matic bridge, stopbar tailpiece, and Grover Rotomatic tuners.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003eA pair of ShepTone Tribute humbuckers is installed, with the original Gibson pickups included, and the guitar has aftermarket Black Beauty capacitors in the harness. ShepTone Tributes are a respected PAF-style wind — open and dynamic with the vocal midrange and clean-up behavior players chase in a Historic. Wired to two volumes, two tones, and a 3-way toggle, it moves from warm neck-position leads to bridge crunch that stays articulate under gain. Whether you're a blues or classic rock player who wants a Custom, Arts and Historic-era Reissue, a working guitarist after a Historic that's been sorted and set up, or a collector who values a 40th Anniversary build, this one earns its place. This Used 1999 Gibson Custom 40th Anniversary 1959 Les Paul Standard Reissue (Serial #991705\u003ccode\u003e\u003c\/code\u003e) includes its Custom, Arts and Historic hardshell case, the Custom Shop certificate, hang tags, the original pickups, and the cream pickguard.
