Description

The Gibson Custom 1958 Les Paul Standard Reissue VOS in Washed Cherry Sunburst is a stunning recreation of one of the most important guitars in history. Built with a lightweight one-piece mahogany back and a plain two-piece maple top it stays true to the original 58 design giving you the same depth warmth and resonance that made these instruments legendary. The chunky 50s Rounded Medium C neck profile offers a solid vintage feel in the hand while the narrow tall frets bring more of the rosewood fingerboard into the sound for an unmistakably authentic voice. Finished in nitrocellulose with a VOS patina it has the look and feel of a well-loved classic straight from Gibsons golden era. Under the hood a pair of Custombucker Alnico 3 pickups capture the open woody character of vintage PAF humbuckers with all the sweetness and bite players expect from a late-50s Les Paul. Hand-wired electronics with CTS pots and paper-in-oil capacitors deliver smooth expressive control while the no-wire ABR-1 bridge lightweight aluminium Stop Bar and Kluson tuners ensure rock-solid tuning and sustain. Complete with a brown and pink Lifton reissue case certificate of authenticity and historic hang tags this 58 Les Paul Standard Reissue is both a collectors dream and a serious players instrument.
