Used Gibson Custom 1958 Les Paul Standard Reissue VOS - Lemon Burst

Used Gibson Custom 1958 Les Paul Standard Reissue VOS - Lemon Burst

 

The year 1958 was a pivotal moment in the history of the electric guitar, and this Custom Shop Les Paul pays a perfect tribute to that golden era. Featuring a beautiful two-piece plain maple top and a solid mahogany body, this guitar is a masterclass in classic tonewood combinations. The full, rounded neck profile feels just like a vintage original, giving you the commanding feel and bending leverage that defined the legendary "Burst" guitars. It's a true player's instrument, capturing the essence of the '58 model that became the foundation for rock and roll.

This Les Paul is not just a stunning recreation, it's a vehicle for pure, unadulterated tone. Loaded with a pair of unpotted Custombucker Alnico III humbuckers, this instrument delivers the warm, articulate, and dynamic sound that players chase. From the thick, soulful wail of a bridge pickup lead to the smooth, buttery warmth of the neck pickup, you'll be able to dial in a universe of sounds. Its authentic feel and vintage-accurate appointments make it an incredible instrument for any player looking to tap into the legacy of legends like Jimmy Page, Slash, and Joe Bonamassa.
