The 2025 Gibson 1959 R9 Les Paul Standard Reissue in Iced Tea is a faithful recreation of the late‑’50s Les Paul aesthetic and tone, presented here in very good condition with all case candy, certificate of authenticity, and the original hardshell case. Sporting Gibson’s VOS (Vintage Original Spec) finish, this R9 reproduces the feel and look of a naturally aged instrument without heavy relicing. At 8 lb 3 oz it balances the classic Les Paul heft with playable comfort; the set mahogany body with a carved maple top and a set mahogany neck deliver the warm, sustaining character associated with the 1959 blueprint.
Spec-wise the R9 follows traditional appointments: two covered Custombucker Alnico 3 pickups (unpotted) voiced for vintage PAF-style response, a rounded neck profile approximating historic 1959 measurements, 22 frets, bound rosewood fingerboard with trapezoid inlays, Tune‑O‑Matic bridge with stopbar tailpiece, and Kluson-style tuners. The VOS finish and period-correct hardware preserve the era‑appropriate resonance and string‑to‑string balance, while the included COA and original hard case verify provenance. This example is ideal for players or collectors seeking a well-kept, historically inspired Les Paul reissue.
