Gibson / Les Paul 59 RI Pre Historic Custom Shop / 1985 / Guitar

The opportunity doesn’t present itself too often to own a vintage Gibson Les Paul ’59 Reissue, the Les Pauls from this era are also more commonly referred to as “Pre Historic” because they pre-date Gibson’s own “Historic” division which builds its vintage spec reissues. For the top wood Gibson has selected this stunningly flamed maple, which is being complimented by a cogent sunburst finish and deep cherry-red one piece mahogany back and.  It features all other ‘59 correct features such as the bound body and neck, trapezoid inlays, Gibson Deluxe tuners with keystone buttons, small 50s headstock and pointer-control knobs but with a sleeker than ’59 style one piece mahogany neck.  Features the praised two original Pat.-Nr. Stamped Gibson Humbucker pickups. It’s in excellent condition for a guitar that first appeared in the nineteen eighties, it shows some light playwear and signs of use like crackled marks in the fretboard binding, surface scratches and the to be expected dents, mainly on the back. But really, no excessive wear to be found on this vintage Gibson ‘’pre-historic’ Les Paul 1959 reissue. It has a rather flat fretboard radius and a great playability, however, a player’s preference might desire a refret.  A brilliant instrument, includes the original hardshell case which has an aftermarket comfortable solid wood handle.

ABOUT US

I have always been opposed to being trapped into a job eight hours a day to purchase the free time to do what I enjoy. That’s why i started the Fellowship of Acoustics. The fellowship of acoustics was founded by Rudi Bults, Guitarist and obsessed with tone and wood. The idea was offering real expertise when trading and selling the finest instruments in the world from our showroom in Bergentheim, Netherlands. Helping others find the right tools and enjoying an atmosphere that’s unhurried, honest and informative that’s my go. We are nothing like the "supermarket" style music stores, but specialize in string-things only. We are widely known for Flattop guitars but also sell electric, mandolins & banjo’s, amps, parts, and accessories. Our store has earned the reputation for being a great place to shop for the best products and service.
It is our hope that this new website - much more than a list of "gear" for sale - will serve as an example of our commitment to offering a more personal approach, a friendly atmosphere, and an ultimately more satisfying experience for our friends and customers.
If you have any questions just dial +31-523-232205 or e-mail info@thefellowshipofacoustics.com My name is Rudi Bults, and I’m always here to help out. Wherever possible, we would recommend that you visit our store and experience our instruments and service first hand. However, because of our high standards you can be confident of ordering online from us. We hope you enjoy your visit to our site, and welcome your feedback.
