Real classics as a special session model
Of the various Les Paul vintages, 1959 is probably the most sought-after and also the most expensive year. This year there was a lot of experimentation with different burst finishes, which stood out strongly from the '58 vintage and were very intense in color. The new colors were initially hesitantly accepted and therefore fewer instruments were produced, making an original 1959 Les Paul Standard a rare and sought-after collector's item.
We were inspired by these guitars and are now introducing you to our Made To Measure series Les Paul 1959 VOS from the Gibson custom shop . Each instrument is a unique piece made from carefully selected woods and components.
Our session Select 1959 models have a beautiful Bourbon Burst VOS finish. VOS stands for “Vintage Original Specs”, which means that the guitars are replicas of historical original instruments that appear to be well-rehearsed but are not aged.
How our guitars were created
Our Olli is of course also a big fan of these legendary instruments. He made the long journey to the Gibson custom shop in the USA to hand-select the best woods and components for a very special Gibson Made To Measure edition . The Gibson session Select Les Paul Standard series consists of faithful replicas of the Les Paul Standard guitars from 1958 and 1959, which are visually very close to the originals, but with some upgrades and of course a timeless sound .
Our YouTube and guitar legend Olli personally traveled to the Gibson custom shop in the USA to work with the guitar makers there to design a series of Made To Measure models and put together the individual components . This gave him the opportunity to select the most beautiful flamed and plain top tops from a variety of raw maple wood blocks and select the appropriate finish for each.
The result is instruments that combine classic design and Vintage vibes with modern, Gibson-typical workmanship quality.

Natürlich haben wir die Linkshänder nicht vergessen: Auch für euch haben wir eine kleine, aber feine Auswahl an Gibson session Select Les Pauls zusammengestellt. Die Modelle Les Paul Standard 1958 und 1959 sind jeweils als VOS-Variante oder als Murphy Lab Light Aged-Version erhältlich. VOS steht für “Vintage Original Specs”, das bedeutet, dass die Gitarren Nachbauten von historischen Original-Instrumenten sind, die auf den Betrachter zwar eingespielt wirken, jedoch nicht geaged sind. Die Ultra Light Aged-Modelle wurden im berühmten Murphy Lab von Tom Murphy in sorgfältiger Handarbeit gealtert, um den Gitarren das Feeling und den Look eines jahrelang gespielten Instruments zu verleihen.
Jede Gitarre ist ein Unikat und wurde aus sorgfältig ausgewählten Hölzern und Komponenten im Gibson Custom Shop in den USA gefertigt. Hier kannst Du unsere ganze Auswahl an exklusiven Einzelstücken entdecken.

The US Gibson Guitar Corporation, founded in 1902 by Orville Gibson in Kalamazoo, Michigan, was initially known for production mandolins and banjos. Today the company's headquarters are in Nashville, Tennessee and Gibson is one of the world's most well-known and renowned manufacturers of electric guitars.
The Les Paul model , named after its creator Lester William Polsfuss, is one of the most famous and best-selling electric guitar shapes of all time and founded the design of the single cut guitar, which has been copied, adopted and reinterpreted by numerous other manufacturers. The Les Paul is primarily valued for its warm and powerful sound . The humbucker pickup responsible for this, in its common design today, was also developed by Seth Lover at Gibson .
At the beginning of the 1960s, another solid body electric guitar from Gibson appeared, the Gibson SG . Initially intended as a successor to the Les Paul, it became another icon of rock history, thanks in part to Angus Young from AC/DC, and is the basis for the double cut guitar type .
With the Flying V and the Explorer , Gibson is responsible for two body shapes that were far ahead of their time at the time of their release in the late 1950s, but which also achieved legendary status over the years. To this day they also serve as the basis for a variety of heavy guitars , for example from manufacturers such as Jackson or ESP.
The Gibson custom shop produces commissioned work , high-quality one-off pieces and exact replicas of famous models and legendary vintages of their instruments. These are often subjected to an artificial aging process called relicing.
Acoustic guitars have also been produced for almost as long as the company has existed. The J-45 , the Hummingbird , the L-00 and the SJ-200 are among the most popular acoustic guitars in the world and were the instrument of choice for Johnny Cash, Elvis Presley and John Lennon.
In addition to the instruments already mentioned, you can of course also buy picks , bags and cases or merchandise from Gibson from us.
We are particularly proud to have a Gibson flagship store in our Frankfurt branch. There you will not only find a large selection and exclusive models to try out directly, but you will also benefit from the expertise of our Gibson -trained and certified employees when it comes to advice on the perfect guitar.
