1959 Gibson Les Paul Standard Reneck

Here’s your chance to own a real 1959 Gibson Les Paul Standard – the holy grail of electric guitars – with a history as bold as its tone. Nicknamed the “Tijuana Burst,” this original ’59 has lived a life and wears its story with pride.

This isn’t a case queen. It’s a player’s vintage burst with character, soul, and tone for days. The top has been oversprayed, and the neck and back have been refinished, giving it a sleek, smooth feel while keeping the original carved maple top intact beneath the burst. The plastics are reissue parts, but the heart of the guitar is pure vintage gold.

It’s loaded with a killer set of 1968 “T-top” humbuckers that scream with clarity and bite, paired with the original 1959 electronics – pots, caps, the works – for an authentic vintage signal path and a tone that’s unmistakably old wood.

Whether you’re a collector looking for a real burst with a twist, or a serious player chasing that legendary Les Paul tone without the million-dollar price tag, the Tijuana Burst delivers.
