The 1959 Gibson Les Paul Standard is considered by many to be the most desirable and valuable vintage Gibson Les Paul model. It is often referred to as the "Holy Grail" of electric guitars.

The 1959 Gibson Les Paul Standard features a mahogany body with a maple top, a mahogany neck with a rosewood fingerboard, and two Gibson PAF humbucking pickups. It also features a Tune-o-Matic bridge, a stop bar tailpiece, Gibson's sunburst finish, and Kluson Deluxe tuners. It has a 24.75" scale length and a weight of around 9 pounds. It also has a bound fingerboard and the Gibson logo on the headstock.

The 1959 Gibson Les Paul Standard is known for its warm, rich, and powerful tone, which is characterized by a strong mid-range and a clear, articulate high-end. The PAF pickups provide a balance of clarity and warmth and are known for their high output, making them ideal for rock, blues, and jazz music.

Due to the age, rarity, and historical significance of the 1959 Gibson Les Paul Standard, it is considered a highly sought-after and valuable vintage guitar. They can be very expensive, and you may have to pay a premium for one that is in good condition.

It's worth noting that only a few Les Paul Standards were produced in 1959, and finding an original one in good condition can be difficult and very expensive.
