“Costs less than a real ’59 Burst… and won’t require a divorce lawyer.”
The 1959 Les Paul is the guitar that launched a thousand riffs (and probably bankrupted a thousand collectors). This 2024 Gibson Custom Shop R9 gives you all the vintage mojo without selling your house, car, and kidney. Finished in a gorgeous Factory Burst with VOS aging, it looks like it’s lived a life of rock stardom, but without the rehab bills. At just 8.6 lbs, it’s the perfect balance between tone monster and back saver.
