Independent shopping perspective
The Korena take
Gibson Custom’s M2M 1959 Les Paul Standard Reissue follows the original 1959 model’s approach with a one-piece mahogany body, hand-selected AAA figured maple top, and an authentic ’59 medium C mahogany neck. Its two exposed-coil Custombuckers use Alnico III magnets, unpotted coils, and hand-wired controls. Independent volume and tone controls let each pickup be adjusted separately through the three-way switch. The VOS nitrocellulose finish is designed to recreate the patina of a played-in vintage instrument.
