Eipä oikeen. Nykyiset '59 Reissuet on monessa mielessä lähempänä alkuperäistä '59:iä. Heritage-mallien kansi on ihan väärän muotoinen sarven kohdalta, niistä puuttuu pitkä kaulaliitos ja tallakin on väärä (Nashville, kun pitäisi olla ABR-1). Lisäksi suuri osa niistä on todella painavia: lähes poikkeuksetta yli 4,5 kiloa. Alkuperäiset '59:t painavat hädin tuskin neljä kiloa ja uudemmat '59 reissuetkin huitelevat neljän kilon tietämillä: omani on 3,78 kg.
 
Ihanko totta....siis ei hyvä? Talla huono kans? Mahtaa vaikuttaa sointiinkin ihan kamalasti. Oma skitta paras kepukka, höhö...
Ompas sulla painava Lespa...toi mun Les Paul Junior -62 painaa sellasen n.2,3kg...ja on aitoa Hondurasin mahonkia...
 
Ja toi mun Heritage on karvan alle 4 kg....ja kyllä se mun mielestä on ihan Les Paulin muotoinen....ja on se jo miehen iässä, 28v....sitä paitta noi mikrovoonit on vallan hyvät...ihan niinkuin koko halko...
 
Tim Shaw of Gibson at the time designed reissue PAFs for them which sound very good and have come to be known as "Shaw PAFs" in the collector community.

Heritage 80 Les Paul Models
 
With the exception of a few Kalamazoo-built prototypes or one offs in circulation, all Heritage 80's were made in the Nashville plant between 1980 and 1982. These LPs have a unique sharp and wide cutaway at the horn, Grover kidney tuners, and an eight digit serial number with four digit second number beneath it.
 
There does not appear to be any pattern to the second four digit number it was used for marketing reasons to distinguish these guitars as limited editions by Bruce Bolen, then head of R&D. They have a unique headstock shape. They are generally on the heavy side (high 9's to high 10 lbs.), have the thin binding in cutaway, small black side dot markers, and a Nashville bridge. The back plates for the control cavity and switch are brown. The Gibson logo on the headstock has a closed b and o and a dot over the i. The necks on these guitars are of medium thickness. While not as close in terms of vintage specifications to the Guitar Trader and Leo's LP models, they are well regarded guitars by many players and collectors and have excellent fit, finish, tone, and playability. Tim Shaw of Gibson at the time designed reissue PAFs for them which sound very good and have come to be known as "Shaw PAFs" in the collector community. The pickups are one double white and one zebra under the covers. The truss rod covers are inscribed with the model names.
 
The Heritage Series Standard 80 has a three piece neck and rosewood fretboard. Some came with rather plain tops and others have moderate flame. There are a few examples with one piece necks and ebony fretboards, which indicates that Elite necks were used during parts shortages. The example in this article has a very deep flame. Colors were dark cherry sunburst or honeyburst. The truss rod cover is inscribed with Heritage Series Standard 80
