Personal Thoughts:
This 2024 Made to Measure '59 Les Paul Reissue is one of those guitars that stops you in your tracks. The Yellow Tiger finish is vivid, bold, and perfectly shows off the tight flame figuring on the maple top—it’s a visual standout while still rooted in vintage Les Paul heritage.
Built to exacting '59 spec, this guitar features all the right ingredients: hot hide glue construction, vintage-correct top carve, and the iconic '59 neck profile. The Custom Buckers are clear, articulate, and warm—delivering everything from smooth jazz tones to biting rock growl with ease.
The Made to Measure element here brings a level of individuality you won’t find on a standard Historic reissue. It's a familiar platform, reimagined with a finish and aesthetic that stands out without compromising the tone and feel that made the '59 legendary in the first place.
