Gibson Custom Shop 1958 Les Paul Standard Reissue – Washed Cherry Sunburst VOS

Gibson Custom Shop 1958 Les Paul Standard Reissue – Washed Cherry Sunburst VOS

The Beginning of the Burst

The 1958 Les Paul Standard Reissue features all the painstaking historic construction methods of the famous ’59 Reissues with a few historically-accurate spec differences that allow it to stand on its own. Like the 1958 originals, it has narrow frets which help more of the fingerboard wood to be heard in the tone profile. It also has a round, chunky neck profile for a full feel and maximum bending leverage. And finally it has a beautiful plain maple top; each is unique and full of character. Available in a variety of classic sunburst shades.
