From Gibson-

"The Collector's Choice TM '59 Les Paul series makes it possible to own a recreation of a specific guitar from the few Les Paul Standards created in 1959.

Now Gibson Custom can faithfully recreate the individual personality of a specific serial number of '59 bringing its magic within reach of a limited number of owners. The details of finish, material, wear and tone in the Collector's Choice TM range are as near to a perfect recreation of each guitar's current condition as is humanly possible."
