Russo Music had the opportunity to spec out two '59 reissue Les Pauls with the Gibson Custom Shop, and we're thrilled with the results. This Gibson Custom Shop 1959 Les Paul Standard Reissue and its sibling are inspired by page 70 of "Beauty of the Burst," model number 90901, and the story of an original Les Paul that was purchased new in 1959 and absolutely cherished by its owner. This guitar is finished to appear as though it's been residing in a case its whole life, never seeing the window of a pawn shop like many from the era.

Featuring a resonant mahogany body, the top of this reissue features hand-selected two-piece AAA flamed maple that were picked during the late winter of 2023 at the Gibson Custom Shop in Nashville, Tennessee. Wayne Green, a Gibson vet of over 40 years, assisted in the selection process, and the attention to detail in this selection process allowed for a top to be chosen that enhanced the overall aesthetic. With a stunning flame maple book-matched grain being visible underneath its finish and the footprint of mahogany evident on its back, this beauty offers a completely unique take on a vintage Les Paul.

Despite the increasing rarity of larger necked guitars in Les Paul production runs, many players express a desire for thicker profiles. The neck profile of this Les Paul resembles an early '50s Les Paul, with its larger, beefier feel. The larger neck keeps the hand busy, allowing the fingers to work without strain, and it's always a pleasure of ours to surprise players who initially anticipate discomfort when trying these necks, only to find that they end up loving the feel. The neck's dimensions range from approximately .920" at the first fret to 1" at the twelfth, with a very slight but normal taper for a vintage-style neck. On the neck, an Indian rosewood fingerboard features Mother of Pearl Trapezoid inlays, and a total scale length of 24.75". At the top of the neck sits a '59 reissue-style peghead with a black veneer, and Kluson reissue tuning machines. 

Its Gibson Custombucker pickups are underwound and feature MCMR impedence matching, allowing the natural woodiness of its carved-maple top to be amplified in an authentic and organic way. These unpotted, nickel-plated pickups contribute to this guitar's distinctive tonal character, delivering a sound that authentically recreates that of vintage Les Pauls. Working in tandem with its pickups, the guitar features two volume and two tone knobs, styled in R9 Gold Top Hat fashion, as well as a 3-way selector switch with an era-specific, amber tip.

This VOS variant of the '59 Les Paul's finish depicts a scenario where the guitar has been fortunate enough to exist within a climate-controlled bubble throughout its life. On the other hand, the Murphy Lab light-aged version captures the inevitable wear garnered over 60 years of its finish aging and being played. The burst featured on this guitar is inspired by a model in "Beauty of the Burst", specifically replicating the original 59 Les Paul with serial number 90901 on page #70.

The hardware features Kluson reissue tuning machines, a non-wire ABR-1 bridge, and a lightweight tailpiece with long stud and anchor. True Historic R9 appointments are found throughout the rest of the guitar as well, from the cream body and fingerboard binding to cream mounting rings, and reissue backplates with the Custom Shop medallion.

While there's truly nothing like an original '59 Les Paul, this Gibson Custom Shop is a special piece that was thoughtfully constructed to get as close as possible and plays the part both aesthetically and functionally.

Most comfortable pillow I’ve ever slept on
Size: Queen (1 Count), Color: Crescent White(cooling)
This is the most comfortable pillow I have ever slept on. It doesn't mash down like other pillows. Cradles my neck perfectly plus it’s cool. I broke my neck a couple of years ago and this pillow feels very good and comfortable. Definitely recommend to everyone. Ive used it since May and it’s retained its shape.

Smell
Size: Queen (2 Count), Color: Original White (Cooling)
The fact that there are not more comments on the smell of these pillows has me worried about some of yall. Listen, I LOVE the weight, and the firmness, it’s perfect for that. However, these pillows are RANK. They have a very strong mildew-ish smell that lingers. I took the outer cover off and washed it and let the pillow air out for a few days, the smell is still very strong when you press your face against it, which one does because it is in fact designed for that purpose. It smells so bad. It’s nauseating. I can smell it through two pillowcases and blanket that I threw on top of them hoping an extra layer would trap the smell. I’ll bake them in the Texas sun tomorrow and hope that helps, because otherwise these are the perfect pillows for someone who wants to feel like they are hugging a torso but can’t stand the sound/feel of someone else breathing. I don’t know…4 stars, if the smell goes away I’ll come back. Update: many many days later. Either they don’t really smell anymore or I got use to it. They’ve held their firmness and shape well. I like them.

Actually Cooling Pillow
Size: Queen (1 Count), Color: Original White (Cooling)
This is a really nice pillow, I was worried it would be too soft or too firm but it's just right and it's actually cooling, it feels cool every time I touch it. I've noticed an improvement in sleep since using it. Would recommend!

Repurchased in King Size – Still Love These Cooling Pillows
Size: King (2 Count), Color: Original White (Cooling), Size: King (2 Count), Color: Original White (Cooling)
After using the queen-size version of these pillows for over a year, we purchased the king-size set when we upgraded to a king mattress. Both my husband and I really like them. The cooling feature works well, and we like that each side feels different—when I run cold, I use the softer bamboo side, while my husband prefers the cooler side since he tends to sleep hot. They fit well in our king-size pillowcases and feel supportive in all sleeping positions, whether I’m on my stomach, side, or back. I also appreciate that you can remove some of the filling to adjust the firmness. The covers are washable, which makes them easy to maintain. Overall, we’re very happy with this repurchase and the long-lasting comfort.

Not great at cooling
Size: Queen (2 Count), Color: Original White (Cooling)
Each pillow cover has 2 sides, one marked for cooling, and the other a different fabric. The cooling side is about the same effectiveness as having a silk or satin pillow cover. It's only cool when you first touch it. The cooling side doesn't seem to absorb or wick moisture, so if you are sweaty - it keeps the moisture in place. You'll definitely want a regular pillow case over the pillow cover. In fact, if you suffer from night sweats, the non-cooling side is actually more comfortable. The pillow fill is ample, and simple to squish around for more support for your neck, etc. Think bean bag. But it will retain your impression after use. I find I need to do as I did when I had down pillows - give it a few good shakes in the morning when I make the bed to get it evened out for the coming night. In all, it is a well-made and comfortable pillow to sleep on, but it does not excel in cooling.
