The Korena take
Gibson Custom’s Historic Series 1959 Les Paul Standard Reissue VOS revisits the 1959 Les Paul Standard through detailed research, including examined and reengineered parts composition. In Washed Cherry Sunburst, it pairs a lightweight mahogany solid body with a figured maple top. Two CustomBuckers, a three-way pickup switch, and four onboard volume and tone controls provide the listed electric-guitar control layout. The fixed ABR-1 Tune-o-Matic bridge and stopbar tailpiece complete the hardware, and a hardshell case comes with it.
