Well its the sound in my opinion and as everyone says that's got to do with the woods, construction etc.

However I've always assumed from a logic standpoint that anything that's left after 50 years is quality and all the crappy guitars broke down over the years leaving only the best of the 59 line. This adds to the myth as well-made lp's are the best sounding guitars on the planet and since these are guitars that were made so good they're still around after 50 years of course they sound great.
