However, the Gear4music extended warranty scheme provides an enhanced service, and is designed to offer a higher level of protection than many 'free' warranties offered by some retailers and manufacturers.
The highlights of this enhanced warranty service are:
Please note that this extended warranty is currently only available on products sold within the UK, EU or EEA, and is subject to the terms and conditions as detailed on the extended warranty certificate provided.
For customers in outlying areas of the country, the price of the Extended Warranty may be marginally higher, due to the potential for higher collection and redelivery transport costs.
This enhanced warranty is in addition to the standard Gear4music and manufacturer warranty policies, and the Gear4music terms and conditions of trade. No statement or condition of sale contained within these terms affects or restricts your statutory rights as defined under the Consumer Contracts Regulation 2014.

Key Features
The Gibson Custom 1959 Les Paul Standard Reissue Light Aged in Cherry Teaburst captures one of the most revered electric guitar designs ever created with remarkable accuracy. Built by the Gibson Custom Shop, it reflects decades of research into the original late '50s models, from construction techniques to materials and finish. Featuring a lightweight one-piece mahogany body with a two-piece figured maple top, it delivers the rich sustain, warmth, and clarity that define a true '59 Les Paul. The Murphy Lab light ageing adds subtle wear, giving it the look and feel of a well-preserved vintage instrument.
The solid mahogany neck is shaped to a '50s Rounded Medium C profile, offering a substantial yet comfortable grip, paired with an Indian rosewood fretboard for smooth playability. Custombucker Alnico 3 pickups provide a highly authentic tonal response, from warm cleans to rich, singing overdrive. With historically accurate construction methods, including hide glue fit and a long tenon neck joint, this reissue delivers a playing experience that feels as close as possible to an original late '50s example.
Product Ref: 346653
The Murphy Lab Light Aged finish treatment is designed to replicate decades of natural wear, giving the guitar the look and feel of a carefully preserved vintage instrument. Subtle checking, light hardware ageing, and gentle finish wear create an authentic appearance without excessive distressing. This process not only enhances the visual character but also contributes to a more broken-in feel, making the instrument comfortable and familiar from the moment you pick it up. It captures the essence of a well-loved original while maintaining modern reliability.
The Custombucker Alnico 3 pickups are engineered to deliver the tonal qualities of original late '50s PAF humbuckers. They offer a balanced output with warm lows, rich mids, and smooth highs, responding dynamically to your playing style. Whether played clean or pushed into overdrive, they retain clarity and articulation, allowing notes to bloom naturally. Paired with hand-wired electronics featuring CTS potentiometers and paper-in-oil capacitors, they provide precise control and an authentic vintage tonal response.
This reissue is built using historically accurate construction techniques, including a hide glue fit and a long tenon neck joint, both of which contribute to enhanced resonance and sustain. The one-piece lightweight mahogany body provides a strong tonal foundation, while the carved figured maple top adds clarity and definition. With no weight relief, the guitar retains its full tonal depth and solid feel. These traditional methods result in a lively, responsive instrument that captures the character of the original design.
Every detail of this guitar has been carefully chosen to reflect the specifications of a late '50s Les Paul. The ABR-1 bridge and lightweight aluminium stop bar tailpiece provide excellent sustain and precise intonation, while Kluson-style tuners ensure stable tuning with a classic look. Period-correct plastics and hardware, including butyrate knobs and Royalite binding, complete the vintage aesthetic. Combined with its expertly aged finish and high-quality components, it offers an authentic playing experience with exceptional craftsmanship.
