Whenever Gibson's Custom Shop recreate a classic instrument from the company's golden era, they help to celebrate their legacy through accuracy, authenticity, and attention to detail - and that's certainly the case here.

Premium-Grade Reconstruction Of A 58 Les Paul Standard

With the Gibson 1958 Les Paul Std Ultra Light Aged in Washed Cherry Sunburst, you get a guitar created using the same, painstaking historic construction methods of the previously-released '59 reissues, but with a few historically-accurate spec differences to make it an altogether more unique instrument.

Gibson 1958 Les Paul Std Ultra Light Aged, Washed Cherry Sunburst Highlights

  • Historic recreation of the groundbreaking 1958 Les Paul Standard
  • Solid Mahogany back piece, with a bound plain Maple top
  • Era-accurate construction, including genuine hide glue, single ply royalite binding, and Chunky C-shape neck
  • Rosewood fingerboard, with Historic Gibson Narrow/Tall frets, and Trapezoid block inlays
  • Two Custombucker pickups deliver that classic, late 50's PAF-like tone
  • Includes a deluxe hardshell case, certificate of authenticity, mounted custom shop switch plate medallian, and a reissue switch backplate

Era Accurate Construction

This excellent guitar represents the culmination of decades of work but the expert team over at Gibson's Custom Shop, and is widely regarded as the best representation of the 58 Les Paul Standard ever since they began creating reissues more than 25 years ago.

Featuring a solid Mahogany body, capped with a 2-piece plain Maple top, and a set-in Mahogany neck - all of which is fixed together with genuine hide glue for maximum tone transferrence.

The neck has been carved with a Chunky C-Shape profile, and is topped with a bound Indian Rosewood fingerboard, with 22 Historic Medium-Jumbo frets, and Trapezoid fret markers, for an authentic late 1950s playing experience.

Custombucker Pickups

As this guitar represents the birth of a legend - the very first Les Paul to come equipped with humbuckers - Gibson have opted to use the vintage-voiced CustomBucker.

These low-output pickups come equipped with Alnico III magnets, and produce the Holy Grail of Gibson tones, with a PAF-like voice that's both rich and articulate.

Each of these pickups features independent Volume and Tone controls, allowing you to dial in those sweet spots, whilst the 3-way selector switch lets you choose the perfect voice for your situation.

The Murphy Lab Collection

Gibson's all-new Murphy Lab Collection is a showcase of premium-quality guitars, that feature Ultra Light Aged finish treatments, with lightly aged hardware.

This combination helps to simulate decades of light play wear, for a unique character, vibe, and feel, reminiscent of a genuine "Golden Era" Les Paul Standard.
