Gibson Custom Shop also re-engineered the truss rod, truss rod washer, and anchor to their original form. They also eliminated the tubing that surrounded the truss rod. Kluson Green Key Tuners now feature proper vintage profile, color, and performance specifications. These features and others make the Gibson Custom Shop Standard Historic 1959 Les Paul Reissue a dream come true for fans of vintage Gibsons.

The details go all the way down to the straight-line positioning of the Standard Historic 1959 Les Paul Reissue's Kluson Green Key tuners, the size and shape of the acrylic trapezoid block inlays, and the '50s-style long neck tenon joint.

CustomBucker pickups deliver vintage PAF toneGibson Custom paid just as much attention to the Standard Historic 1959 Les Paul Reissue's electronics as they did to its aesthetics.

Of course, it's next to impossible to find genuine '50s PAFs (even for Gibson). Instead, the Custom Shop Standard Historic 1959 Les Paul Reissue sports a pair of Gibson's CustomBucker humbuckers. The CustomBucker is the most historically accurate PAF copy ever.
