Read our feedback and rest assured that The Dude Abides. 



This 1959 Les Paul reissue is visually and sonically what every Gibson player craves... Classic perfection and a KILLER top! 1989 was one of the popular years of these guitars because it was the 30th Anniversary of Les Paul guitars and because they reverted back to the original '59 serial number scheme during this time. This guitar has been given the name the "Les Paul '59 Prehistoric" with the term prehistoric referring to those reissues made by Gibson before the Custom Shop was formed and they officially began using the term reissue with the designation of R9.

This rare and beautiful guitar was produced in small quantities and therefore is a sought after piece for many Gibson collectors. Its non-chambered body has deep, demential flames that are visible from any angle. The honey truly looks like a faded grainy type burst finish. The neck starts off on the slimmer side for a '59, but thickens up as you move down. It feels fast and very comfortable, and the rosewood is a deep chocolate brown. The original factory frets still retain plenty of life and have just been crowned, dressed and polished to shine like new. It will be professionally set up with any string gauge you prefer. 

It has a pair of Bill Lawrence designed Super Humbuckers, which are referred to as Gibson's "circuit board" pickups. They are medium output pickups that handle and deliver a variety of tones no matter your musical genre preference. 

Features: 

  • Mahogany body
  • Carved two-piece maple top
  • one-piece mahogany neck
  • Classic Style & Real Mojo

Condition:

It is in very good pre-owned condition, it has been played a lot and has the buckle worming and marks you would expect to see with heavy use. The top is very clean and doesn't have nearly as much wear. There are no major dings, dents or scratches on the top and no breaks or repairs of any kind. It came in to me with modern Grovers, and I have installed Vintage Style Kluson Deluxe tuners to bring back the more classic look. Aside from that it is all original and has no other mods. The back and sides have most the wear with two chips long the back edge and buckle marks, (that can be seen more at an angle) and not so much from straight on) please see pics.

This guitar is professionally set up and dialed in for optimal tone and playability. It has low action with no buzzing or dead spots and is an absolute joy to play. It has been deep cleaned and detailed. All guitars will arrive looking and playing great. The frets have been leveled / dressed / polished and the fingerboard was cleaned. (Unfinished Rosewood and Ebony boards get treated with Fret Doctor - a proprietary all natural oil that is the best on the market) It has brand new strings, the action was adjusted, the intonation is spot on and it plays excellent. All the electronics work flawlessly.


**** We stand behind every guitar we sell and have consistently delivered quality that beats most people expectations, earning us a reputation for quality that is unrivaled. Simply put “good enough” is not good enough for The Guitar Dude’s standards. We try and make every guitar be at its absolute BEST to deliver on our promise. We take great pride in what we do and we are always trying our best.

Terms For Returns & Re-Stocking Fee’s

We recognize and accept a 7 day return policy as per Reverb guidelines, BUT intentions of the return must be communicated in writing within 3 day of receiving the guitar as indicated by the tracking.

Please note that we record demo videos to make sure our guitars go out exactly as we describe them with zero issues. We understand that feeling comfortable is vital to the purchase of a guitar/bass so in any case, additional measurements or in hand descriptions are available prior to purchase/shipping.

It is acceptable and normal if there is for instance a tiny bit of buzzing or the need to adjust a truss rod. We are in south Florida and if you are in a colder or less humid environment it is almost to be expected. Please read our feedback and see what our customers say. The guitar MUST BE RETURNED IN THE EXACT CONDITION it was advertised/received or it is subject to additional costs & or repair fees. We are not a big chain shop, I hope you understand.
