Gibson Custom 1959 Les Paul Standard V.O.S.

"The only major change to the Les Paul Standard in 1959 was the addition of wider, fatter, jumbo frets, which facilitated more dramatic bends. The real force of this change was not felt until the late '60's when rock and blues players like Eric Clapton, Mike Bloomfield, and Peter Green began to discover the fat, warm voice of the '59 Standard. This moment in history marked the beginning of the idealization of the '50 Les Paul as the Holy Grail of guitars in the minds of professionals, collectors, and weekend warriors."
