Well, It's a gibson. The new chambered les paul standards arn't. The only way to get a real Gibson is a reissue, and the 59 is my favorite because of the flame top jumbo frets and the fact jimmy page used one.The 58 is a nice guitar too, but it dosn't look or play as nice. Like the other guy said "this is the best guitar on the market" this is very true. Plug this this thing into a Marhall (or a good Fender) and put every thing on 10 (or 11 in some cases....) and use a power brake, no don't use a power brake use a hot plate or a gibson power stealth because all of them take away treble but the hotplate and the stealth have a bright switch..... Anyway this guitar is great im saving up my birthday money for it (hahahaha).The only things i would change are the pot the push/pull 500ks for coil taping,out phase,series/parelel and add some grover (although the ons that come with it are just fine and thats about it. I hope you enjoyed my realy long review (it's not that long is it)?

Given gibson's current practice of drilling weight relief holes into their Les Pauls (including the 'historics,' as well as a serious lapse in quality in recent years I cannot recommend this guitar to anyone other than collectors looking for an instrument to place on display. For a performing musician compared to a Tokai LP or even a Greco or an old lawsuit Ibanez, this guitar is a major dissapointment.

This is one of the greatest well made guitars in the world. As the other guy said this is the exact guitar Jimmy Page bought from Joe Walsh in the 60's I believe. It has a great sound with a state of the art body. If you have the money don't hesitate to buy it because you won't regret it.
