Gibson Custom Shop 1958 Les Paul Standard Reissue VOS Bourbon Burst Electric Guitar With Case
ICONIC GUITAR ICONIC SOUND
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.
Authentic, Vintage Original Spec (VOS)
The Custom Shop 1958 Les Paul Standard Reissue Vintage Original Spec (VOS) is a clone of the originals. It features hide-glue construction, chemically re-engineered plastic parts, original hardware. No detail is sparred from the Nitro VOS finish, Aged Cellulose Nitrate Trapezoid Inlays, No-Wire ABR-1 Bridge, and much more.
Classic Electronics
Get authentic vintage tone from Custombucker Alnico III pickups in both the bridge and neck positions. These pickups deliver all the warm, fat tone that Les Pauls are known for.
