  • Description: This 2011 Gibson Custom Historic 1958 Les Paul Reissue is the latest and the greatest Gibson has to offer. This model comes complete with a beautiful Sunrise Tea Burst Finish that will take your breath away! You can see the blister in the grain of the Maple which is very rare and highly sought after. It's this kind of wood, the good wood, that resonates with the Mahogany back. This guitar has the great features, tone, and looks that made the original '58 Les Paul a classic for "workhorse" comfort and feel. This guitar features a maple top, mahogany back, and one-piece set-in mahogany neck with rounded '50s neck profile and nickel plated hardware. The Gibson Burstbucker Pickups used are historically accurate "Patent Applied For" replicas with an airy tone and unbalanced coils. A medium output Burstbucker 1 is used in the neck position, while the Burstbucker 2 in the bridge position has a slightly hotter output. Both have unpolished magnets and non-potted coils like the original "Patent Applied For" pickups. The TONE is AWESOME, warm and FAT with a HUGE midrange HONK and sweet treble! This Les Paul is everything a Les Paul ought to be...soulful, powerful and strong! The thickness of the neck measures .926 at the first fret and 1.013 at the 12th. The frets are nice and large, for wider bends and this guitar has a huge presence with incredible sustain. Weighing in at 9 lbs. 8 oz. This guitar really has that pure LP sound with that to die for "woody air". Not too bright, just right! This guitar is 100% MINT UNPLAYED UNOWNED AND AWESOME! It comes complete with the OHSC, COA and TONE! If you're looking for vintage vibe in a Les Paul that's as historically accurate as anything Gibson has built over the past few decades, this 1958 Les Paul Standard is just what you're looking for.
