DGR’s biggest fund-raiser to reap amazing reward
Three weeks after the initial joint announcement by Triumph Motorcycles and iconic guitar brand Gibson of their pending collaboration, we now get to see the first fruit born from that marriage.
Their individual inspirations come from the legendary 1959 Gibson Les Paul Standard, and 1959 Triumph Bonneville T120.
Meet the 1959 Legends custom edition Les Paul Standard Reissue guitar, and the Triumph Bonneville T120 ‘1959 Legends Custom Edition’.

1959 Legends Custom Edition Â
A genuine guitar icon, the 1959 Les Paul Standard Reissue is the ultimate Gibson classic, and an accurate clone that’s authentic in every detail, from its iconic sunburst finish to the look and feel of each part and its incredible trademark tone.
The 1959 Legends Custom Edition features unique Triumph design detailing, including hand coach-lined pickguard, inspired by the Bonneville’s trademark engine fins, and etched pick-up covers, branded truss rod cover and reissue switch backplate.
Along with the 1959 Les Paul Standard Reissue certificate of authenticity, the Legends Edition also comes with its own one-of-a-kind certificate signed by Triumph CEO, Nick Bloor, and Cesar Gueikian, Brand President of Gibson Brands.
