The Gibson Custom Shop is a premier player in the production of some of the finest electric guitars produced today. At the absolute cutting edge of innovation while remaining fully reverent and authentic to the Gibson name, the instruments produced are all stellar examples of fine musical craftsmanship at work – audibly and visually.

The Les Paul has never lost its luster. The 1959 Les Paul Standard Reissue is the product of tireless effort, technical prowess, and a fine ear for a classic tone. With historically-accurate construction methods and specifications, the Les Paul Standard Reissue is an incredibly accurate recreation of the original Les Pauls crafted in 1959.

Starting off with high-quality materials and painstaking construction, the 1959 Les Paul Standard Reissue features a 2-piece plain maple top with a 1-piece lightweight mahogany back. The two woods put together are shaped in the classic single-cutaway body and fit easily into the hands of any player. A solid mahogany "Authentic '59 Medium C"-shaped neck is streamlined to travel from the higher to lower frets of the Indian Rosewood fingerboard, which features Historic Gibson Medium Jumbo frets. Along with this careful construction, the 1959 Les Paul Standard Reissue comes equipped with two Custombucker Alnico 3 unpotted pickups that summon all the iconic tones widely known and universally adored.

The finish on the 1959 Les Paul Standard Reissue is a first in Gibson Custom Shop design. From the Gibson Custom Shop's newest division, the Murphy Lab, the finish on this 1959 Les Paul Standard Reissue is specially engineered to replicate the properties of Gibson's original Nitrocellulose Lacquer used in the 1950s and 1960s. Pioneered by Gibson Master Artisan Tom Murphy, this 1959 Les Paul Standard Reissue features an Light Aged finish treatment. This scientifically engineered process and finish simulates decades of light play wear that makes the guitar look and feel well-worn and well-loved from the first time it is picked up. The finish is a completely new development and gives the Les Paul Standard Reissue a new but greatly familiar look and feel.

Other features that make the 1959 Les Paul Standard Reissue a masterwork in authentic historic guitar design include an ABR-1 bridge, a lightweight aluminum stop bar tailpiece, and aged cellulose nitrate trapezoid fret inlays. A mounted Custom Shop switch plate medallion, reissue switch backplate, and certificate of authenticity are all included with an official Gibson hardshell case. Every piece of the Gibson 1959 Les Paul Standard Reissue is fully outfitted and dressed to the nines for an authentic Gibson experience every time it is picked up and played. Altogether, the 1959 Les Paul Standard Reissue is a dream of an instrument, presented as if picked straight from 1959.

Historically accurate and tonally iconic, the 1959 Les Paul Standard Reissue readies players for a new lifetime of exceptional musical history.

Buy it for the Resurrection but Stay for the Logic
Format: Kindle
Being a huge fan of Bishop Robert Barron on YouTube, I turned to this book for a specific issue: what is the historical evidence not only that Jesus lived but that He was resurrected? In addition, I wanted something that wasn't written from the perspective of theology but from a more neutral, historical stance. Furthermore, I wanted a book that wasn't a 900 page academic treatise but a book that a layperson could read, easily, and get an overview to the historiography. AN OVERVIEW TO THE HISTORIOGRAPHY This book fulfilled that role. Whether you accept its evidence or not hinges a) on your own religious perspective and open mindedness, and b) whether you accept the veracity of many of the early writings of Christianity. Not being an expert, I can't really reach a firm conclusion on "b." The authors are clearly fervent Christians, but they do an admirable job of leaving their beliefs aside and resting their survey to the facts and the historiography. The book is an excellent overview to the logic and argument in favor of the resurrection. If you're curious or you've ever wondered whether there is any evidence... this is an excellent choice. AN EXPOSE ON LOGIC What I found surprising and enjoyable, however, was the writers' expose on logic. If x is true, then y is true. If a is not true, then b cannot be true - etc. The discussion of historical logic, above and apart from the Resurrection, was eye-opening. It made me think - a lot - about how I apply logic to my own understanding of "reality," whether a scientific theory (e.g., evolution) or a historical theory (e.g., that Christ was resurrected). For that alone, the book is worthy of the read. Did Jesus live? Was he resurrected? This book is not only a good survey of the evidence and arguments but also a wonderful adventure in logic. Read it, and you decide.

Equipping Believers to Evangelize the Resurrection
Format: Paperback
To be candid, I am not a fan of most popular apologetics -- especially on the resurrection. But when I saw that this book was 384 pages long, I thought it was perhaps an exception and would cover the issue in more detail than others. I was wrong. So why do I still rank this book so high? Because it does what it intends to do effectively. This book effectively equips Christians to witness to their friends, neighbors, and families using the historical evidence for the resurrection of Jesus. Habermas and Licona begin with a discussion about the importance of the resurrection of Jesus to Christianity. Though this seems obvious, the discussion is helpful because it wisely recommends focusing on the resurrection without getting bogged down in, presumably, issues such as inerrancy and a complete harmonization of the resurrection narratives. This is a common failing of Christians trying to share their faith. The authors' emphasis on keeping the eye on the ball extends throughout the book. After the opening chapter, the book turns to the core of the issue, the historical evidence for the resurrection of Jesus. The strength of this section is that it distills down, accurately, a high level of scholarship on the issue. Habermas and Licona present five "minimal facts." That is, they focus on five historical facts that are accepted by most scholars: 1) Jesus' death by crucifixion; 2) Jesus' disciples believed that he rose and appeared to them; 3) Paul, a persecutor of the church, has suddenly changed to faith in Jesus; 4) James, skeptical of Jesus during his ministry, was suddenly changed to faith in Jesus; and, 5) The tomb of Jesus was empty. No. 4 is perhaps more disputed than Habermas and Licona discuss (and by far the least important of the five), but the rest of the discussion accurately represents the state of historical scholarship. Although their discussion will not supplant the more probing discussions of N.T. Wright or William L. Craig, it will equip the reader to accurately present to their friends, neighbors, and family the persuasive historical evidence for the resurrection of Jesus. They fit their "minimal facts" together effectively to present a strong case for the resurrection of Jesus. Most of the rest of the book deals with various objections to the resurrection. This includes the usual suspects, such as the hallucination theory or the forgotten grave site. But it also includes others that scholars tend to ignore but which actually pop up in real conversation, such as whether Jesus could have been an alien (don't laugh, I've heard that one) and how do we know that even if there was a resurrection that God had anything to do with it. Their response effectively focuses on the context of Jesus' ministry and claims about himself. There are a few sections that appear out of place, such as the discussion of near death experiences and even the section about the existence of God. But the book closes with its strength, a helpful discussion of how to take the knowledge conveyed by the book and convince others about the resurrection of Jesus. Christians wishing to share effectively the core of their faith with those they care about will find this book very helpful. And for that reason, I recommend it.

“Jesus’ Resurrection is a crucial issue”
Format: Paperback, Format: Paperback
This book is a must for everyone. The question of “Jesus” is the most important question in human history. Was Jesus real? Did Jesus die? Did Jesus rose? These questions and those like it are the most fundamental, theological questions of the human race. If Jesus was real, if Jesus died, and if Jesus rose, then what he taught is real. The author does a great job of breaking down key arguments against the resurrection, key points of why the resurrection happened, and so much more. The author provides easy breakdown charts. The book it is very easy to read for the common man. If you have an honest heart, you should read this book and see what you think. If you are a Christian, you should get this book to help with your faith, to help correct some false teachings (like a non-bodily resurrection), and to better yourself in defending the faith.

Do not fear studying this topic, nor encountering objectors to the truth.
Format: Paperback
The book is written so well. It provides incredible graphs that summarize each chapter and the premise of the book. Gary Habermas is a prolific author of this topic and has to be one of the greatest contemporary Christian historians. Additionally, Michael R. Licona who also is a fantastic author and apologist co-authors the book. The book provides arguments that are accepted by the majority of historians as to the veracity of the resurrection account. The key to the book is it aids the defender of this truth to not have to include supporting the scripture as part of the argument which can allow the arguer a way to bypass indisputable truths. Early in the book, this is called the Five Facts ( 4 + 1) The first 4 are the strongest arguments and there's the additional Empty Tomb presentation as well. The 4 are: 1. Jesus' Death by Crucifixion 2. Disciples' BELIEFS that Jesus Appeared 3. Conversion of the Church Persecutor Paul 4. Conversion of the Skeptic James These historical facts are clearly portrayed and defended and as the book continues arguments are supplied and answered. Finally, there's a disc with the book "The Resurrection Challenge" !
