Used 2011 Gibson Custom Shop 1958 Les Paul Standard Reissue VOS Flame Top Iced Tea Burst serial number 811605.

This guitar is in very good condition, neck and frets are fine, cosmetically showing a few small nicks on the top, and a small amount of belt rash on the back. The pickups are non-original 2012 Burstbuckers, the tuners are non-original Grovers, and the bridge is a non-original Tone Pros tune-o-matic. All the hardware has an aged patina, similar to what TonePro calls “Satin Nickel”.

We contacted Gibson regarding the specs and they stated it’s a plain top, however we have found in the past that Gibson Custom Shop is not always accurate with its record keeping as this is obviously a flame top. We are identifying the color as Iced Tea Burst however Gibson’s Vintage Tobacco Sunburst looks very similar.

Gibson states:

“Gibson Custom Shop is the pinnacle of craftsmanship, quality, and sound excellence. Each instrument celebrates Gibson's legacy through accuracy, authenticity and attention to detail.”

“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 flame maple top; each is unique and full of character.”

Imperial Guitar says:

“The Gibson Custom Les Paul Standard ’58 Reissue VOS is about as close as you can get to the original specs, the beautiful VOS nitrocellulose lacquer finish captures the depth, and hue of a '58 Les Paul Standard.”

Featuring top-shelf tonewoods, including a solid mahogany body, a two-piece “flame” maple top, a Chunky C profile neck, Indian rosewood fingerboard with 22 Historic narrow tall Plek’d frets, and Burstbucker 1&2 pickups. Along with premium historical appointments, including cellulose Trapezoid inlays.

This is a great guitar! If you’ve ever wanted a ’58, pick this up, close your eyes and you’re there!

Original hard-shell case included.

“We carefully inspect every instrument when we buy it and bring it up to our standards before we offer it for sale. We also do a full set up before we ship. If you decide to purchase this guitar, please let us know what gauge strings you prefer.”

*Please note: we do our best giving descriptions of used pieces. We have found it impossible to describe every mark on an instrument or amp that is not in the "mint" category. Also, what's important to you may not be important to someone else. For example, you may say, "I don't care what it looks like as long as it plays or sounds well." Another person may say, "Body cosmetics are very important to me so tell me about every scratch, nick and blemish." So, please ask the questions that are most important to you. If you ask they will be answered. They are free and there's no limit. Additional photos can also be made available.

This is a specific item that is also being offered for sale in our brick & mortar location. It is possible that it has just been sold. Please ask if it is still available before purchasing.

*It is our policy to require a signature on delivery of all musical instruments. Please let us know if you prefer no signature required when ordering or we will automatically require a signature.

If you prefer your item to be sent without a required signature Imperial Guitar and the selected carrier can no longer be responsible for the security of the package once it has been delivered.
