What We Think

Condition: Used, Excellent

In terms of faithful reproductions, there's not much better a source than the Gibson Custom Shop. They've seen to it that this '58 reissue hits all the right notes in recreating that run of guitars. The chunky neck feels solid giving you more feel and leverage, while the Alnico III humbuckers sound straight out of the 50's. If you want a classic Les Paul, the Custom Shop Reissue is the best you can get without a time machine.

SP Luthier Notes: Setup. Has had Historic Makeover package

Manufacturer's Description from Gibson Guitars

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 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.

About Manufacturer

Today's Gibson electric guitars represent the history as well as the future of the electric guitar. The models whose designs have become classics-the ES-175, ES-335, Flying V, Explorer, Firebird, SGs and Les Pauls-are a testament to Gibson's wide appeal, spanning more than four decades of music styles. Gibson's close relationship with musicians is manifest in endorsement models from King, Atkins and jazz greats Howard Roberts and Herb Ellis, plus new Les Pauls made to the personal specifications of rock stars Jimmy Page and Joe Perry. In 1994, Gibson's Centennial year, the new Nighthawk model won an industry award for design, setting the stage for a second hundred years of Gibson quality and innovation.
