1959 is widely regarded as a legendary year in guitar history, especially for the Gibson Les Paul Standard. The 1959 Les Paul is often considered the holy grail of vintage guitars, famed for its exceptional craftsmanship, rich tone, and beautiful sunburst finishes. Many iconic players, from Jimmy Page to Slash, have praised guitars from this year for their sustain and warmth. This model helped define the sound of rock and blues and remains one of the most sought-after and valuable guitars in the world.
Custom refers to instruments or gear that are specially made or modified to meet a player’s specific preferences and requirements. Custom guitars, amps, or pedals often feature unique designs, upgraded components, or personalised aesthetics that set them apart from standard production models. This category is ideal for musicians looking for one-of-a-kind equipment tailored to their playing style, sound, and look, offering greater attention to detail, craftsmanship, and exclusivity.
Electric guitars use magnetic pickups to convert string vibrations into an electrical signal, which is then amplified. Unlike acoustic guitars, they rely on amplification for volume and tone shaping, making them highly versatile in genres like rock, blues, jazz, and metal. Electric guitars come in many body styles—solid, semi-hollow, and hollow—and feature different pickup configurations, neck types, and hardware. From smooth clean tones to aggressive distortion, they offer a wide sonic range, making them the backbone of modern guitar music.
