2007 Gibson Les Paul Standard '58 Reissue VOS Plain Top Faded Tobacco

Offered for sale:

Used 2007 Gibson Custom Shop 1958 Les Paul Standard Reissue VOS Plain Top Faded Tobacco (Gibson Brands now seems to call the color Bourbon Burst) serial number 87840.

This guitar is in very good showing limited playing time. The pick guard was removed to show the full top but it is included. And we’d be happy to re-installed for the asking.

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 plain 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 (Did you see that mahogany grain? Striking.); a two-piece “plain” maple top, with a fair amount of bird’s eye; a Chunky C profile neck; Indian rosewood fingerboard with 22 Historic narrow tall Plek’d frets; Burstbucker 1 (R) and Burstbucker 2 (T) pickups. Along with premium historical appointments, including cellulose Trapezoid inlays and vintage-style Kluson tuners.

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

Certificate of Authenticity included.

Original hard-shell case included.
